PicoCalendar (work in progress)

This is PicoCalendar - a minimalistic calendar with annotation features. Just click a date and let your thoughts flow!

You can try it with load #picocalendar. Enjoy!

> At time of writing, day numbers are off and text editing doesn't work in the web version :(

Technical thoughts

• This app creates a .txt file for each clicked date, and then opens the default text editor with open.lua
• To make footprint smaller, I should clean empty files at some point...
• Working with dates is way harder than I thought. Code is not clean and sometimes awkward. I feel it would have been easier with os.time to work with numeric timestamps rather than with strings.

Changelog

wonderful!
I like this.
By the way, if you change to a self-made theme, the characters on the calendar and marks indicating that text has been entered may disappear.
I think it's okay to set the app's own colors without using the theme's colors.

Thank you for the feedback @sugarflower!
In 0.1.2, I've hardcoded the colors as constants so it should be easy to customize :)

Thanks for responding. Sounds good!

Fun fact: roughly 55% of the world's population start their week on a Sunday, 44% on a Monday. 1% on a Saturday.

I live in France where weeks start on Monday. I had no idea that the gap was so small between Monday and Sunday as the start of week. And never heard about Saturday !

I've already planned to add a setting for Monday or Sunday, but I might add an option for Saturday based on your insights @bambus :)
