My favourite would be 'sudo apt-get autoupgrade'. It does not exist, but would upgrade everything, right now, no questions asked. I wonder why 'sudo unattended-upgrade -v' does not…

I have found Leaf [1] to be a simple and plain spaced repetition program. It has very few features compared to Anki. It does not have a large ecosystem of stack sharing, it's mostl…

Those pta example files you linked, marttt, really make the case for this software. It looks simple, transparent, auditable, versionable and unixy. Dpifke, beancounter looks nice, …

Nice! Static binaries generated by Go are indeed large, even if the source code here is under 30 lines with support to some additional minor features (US and Finnish day names, com…

SimpleTask Cloudless has been my favourite todo.txt app for Android. Unfortunately, SimpleTask is in low maintenance mode [1], and does not work well in my setup. According to mpcj…

Based on the man page, calendar(3) would not suit my use well. It's quite different from calendar.txt. But I'm happy to hear that you use it. I installed it just to read the man pa…

Yes [1]. In the unlikely event you need a calendar after 2038-01-19 w03 Tue, the program can generate you templates [2] for hundreds of years [3]. [1] https://terokarvinen.com/2021…

Mdq seems just what I've been looking for. I have yet to test it. Based on documentation, you can mdq for the chapter whose heading is "## Foobar"; or extract all lists in chapter …

I use a template [1] that includes week numbers. With some traditional GUI calendar software, I was often hunting and miscopying week numbers. Some software also had a weird (non I…

So many tempting options... Can you recommend a tool and open your accounting workflow, marttt? Are there any pain points, like filling tax forms or handling travel paperwork?

I recommend https://syncthing.net/ Works with all file formats, from photos and movies to text files. Cross platform: Linux, Windows, Android, probably also Mac and BSD. Update: An…

It's unfair to computers how well paper planners worked. Among with todo.txt, paper calendars were an inspiration and a benchmark for writing calendar.txt.

I especially like your 'mgrep', please do write it! I have considered similar tools that make use of MarkDown syntax, I feel that there are many tools waiting to be written here.

As you guessed, roland35, I do track my calendar.txt in git. One main benefit from git is also to work as an insurance against (user) errors, and make the whole process much more t…

Interesting ideas for formalization and metadata, jeroendh. Some comments on those: Calendar.txt is indeed a personal calendar. So feel free to violate the spec as much as you need…

Such an alarm system would be interesting (and even sounds feasible), even though I don't use reminders myself.

I use a template [1] that has the dates (including week numbers) there already. That way, I only need a text editor. In my work, similar events happen on the same week numbers in d…

For reminders and other automated actions, pydry suggested "orgzly revived with org mode"; and kruffalon suggested 'remind'. I have not tried those, but they might be better option…

Now my homepage should answer in under 300 ms again. Thanks for visiting!

You're quite right, oneeyedpigeon. The main audience of calendar.txt are people who always have terminal open, and who are using grep, sort and similar all the time anyway. I use +…

I can recommend todo.txt, as I've been using it for years. Todo.txt was one of the inspirations to create calendar.txt. It also works nicely together with calendar.txt for me. I ca…

Thank you for bringing up calendar.txt. My homepage is feeling the hug. In the meanwhile: https://web.archive.org/web/20250216110151/https://terokarvi...

My students Dianne, Pauli, Mikko and Juho tried [1] this. They wrote a blog [2] and a git repository [3]. It's not a ready to use product, but an exploration and learning journey t…

Author of calendar.txt here. I use scripts to pick whatever information I need. For example, I have a command called 'today'. It shows X next days of my calendar and summary of nex…

If you enjoy command line and TUI, I've collected some offline resources as 'ks'. Plain text takes very little space. Only 75 MB for MDN (Mozilla Developer Network), Devhints.io, t…
