dotday v1.2.2

*.DAY — A human-readable calendar format

One file == one day.

Designed for ease of parsing.

Here's a sample:

; 2020-07-13.day
; comment
= 2020-07-13 =
; Monday

; Events are separated by blank lines
; !1h -> Your calendar app will remind you 1 hour before the event
10:00 -- 11.50 !1h
; First line is the title
MATH 102
; In order: Location, description, participants

dotday-js/ includes a Node.js based reference implementation that reads a directory of .day files and outputs iCalendar (.ics) data.

format.textile includes an informal description.

TO DO

This is basically useless at this point. There is so much to do.

• Compile to iCalendar format
• Timezone handling
• Syntax highlighting
• Formal description

Planned features

• Attachments (URI or relative path)
• Tags
• Participants: format John Doe <jdoe@example.com>
• Recurring events
• Timezone specification

Features under consideration

• Format versioning
• Colors
  • How will that work in plaintext?
• Timezone configuration
• Multiple days in one file
