I’m building a small integration to take scheduled transactions in YNAB and display them in any normal calendar application. I’m hoping to add historical transactions one day as well to help with reconciling. https://calendarforynab.com Any feedback is welcome!

It's inspired by VS Code and hopefully positioned to eventually be a Cursor-like experience for transactional lawyers. The LLM integration isn't baked in yet to keep the in-house onboarding frictionless.

It's a desktop application written in Rust. It uses egui (an immediate mode UI library) for speed.

I'd greatly appreciate any comments.
