• C++: The Documentary Released Today

  Hey I'm curious on how your reminder app works and to what effects, if you're willing to share. I'm on iteration 3 already of my reminder app, also vibe coded, and it helps me a lot. My first one was inspired on Remind [0]. 0: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Why I'm leaving GitHub for Forgejo

  Own domains is the real deal. My preffered model is tarball releases with checksums, or better yet, with signatures (like remind[0] or msmtp[1]). Such pages are trivial to host properly and loads quickly. [0]: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ [1]: https://marlam.de/msmtp/download/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Show HN: I built a task manager that separates "Do" & "Due" dates

  FSET float(y,m,d) trigger(MAX(realtoday(), date(y,m,d))) When I finish it, I delete it, or replace the floating date with the actual date if I want to keep track of when I completed it. https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: I built an open source web calendar inspired by the Google calendar

  "Remind" calendar has been a daily driver for me for the better part of a decade, you might find some inspiration there? I could see these two things working well together? https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Slightly off-topic: Plain-text dayplanner?

  I'm a big fan of remind which is the most powerful calendaring software I've used. It has its own domain-specific language for events and can express things I've never been able to do in other calendars. Source: over 3 years ago

• Developing an App for CLI-Calendars - "opinion poll"

  Remind: an incredibly powerful CLI calendar (full disclosure, it's what I use ) and has features & functionality I've never seen in any other calendar (expression evaluation basically gives you a full-fledged programming language for determining events and moving them around when bumped by holidays/weekends, etc). There's a GUI interface and a TUI interface as well, but I just stick to the CLI interface which... Source: over 3 years ago

• Converting old Lenovo R60 era Laptop into terminal/text mode only linux utility machine

  It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: Https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea -...

• Testing for compiler-flag support

• Are there any TUI apps you recommend outside of ncdu / nnn / htop / vim / bat / fd / tig / duf?

  For the CLI rather than TUI, I'll give a shoutout to ledger (which is what I use, but hledger and beancount are also good choices) for my /r/plaintextaccounting needs, and I use remind for my calendaring. I've seen some TUIs built atop them (I've tinkered with wyrd for remind and have seen some ledgerlike TUIs, but not tried them), but find that I prefer just a CLI and text-editor.

• What shell commands do you invoke a lot from vi?

  In both, when editing my ~/.reminders file for remind, I'll also occasionally shell out to run cal(1) just to confirm that a date falls on a particular day-of-the-week. Source: about 4 years ago

• Lesser known tools

  I'll give a couple: remind, ledger (and its cousins hledger and beancount ), and ed(1). Source: about 4 years ago

• Generate monthly calendars using TeX

  If you use remind ( https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ ) not only can you make a calendar, but you can also make it show events there, the syntax is simple enough you can have a file with holidays, or your events there and the rule by which the reminders work and you'll have everything set up in your export to postscript, then make pdf from postscript.

• Plain Text Calendar

  Interesting. I was expecting something similar to my daily driver, which is Remind - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ I think I still prefer Remind's approach for now; it keeps the ability that this appears to have which is a plaintext viewable thing, but Remind also appears more scriptable and exportable; e.g. I make mine both give me reminders in my Terminal, and I can also make it print out a regular... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Software for preserving documents

  If it's important, I put it in plain-text (or a JPG or a PDF if there are visual aspects to it). Or I use some plain-text'ish markup languages (for me, that's mostly hand-crafted HTML, but could be LaTeX or Markdown or DocBook or mandoc/*roff or whatever). My calendar and my accounting ledger files are all in plain-text. Source: over 4 years ago

• how can i get no. of days and number of hours left till a specific date (i-e friend's brithday)

  You could use the “date” command and a bit of shell arithmetic, but I personally use the “remind” tool that has exactly this option to display “days until” any events you teach it about: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/. Source: over 4 years ago

• What calendar should I use?

  Remind is literally the best calendar you can get. It does stuff no other calendar can do. Source: almost 5 years ago

• How did Google calendar get a monopoly?

  On my laptop, I use calcurse, but I've used remind before as well, which has literally developed a syntax around specifying extremely complicated and convoluted reminders. Source: almost 5 years ago

• How to treat repeated tasks?

  I have to say orgmode's handling of repeated tasks is a bit disappointing compared to something like Remind or even most modern GUI calendar apps. I tend to agree with Karl Voit that in a lot of cases using org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift is a better option than the recurring timestamp features. Source: almost 5 years ago
