Very impressed by the date handling. I entered Thursday to Saturday and it figured out what I meant.

However, I can't make it understand ranges further in the future. For example, I'm going to All Tomorrow's Parties from 11th Dec to 13th Dec and I can't make Plancast understand that.

Funny story, turns out I forgot to commit our latest date_parser before Thanksgiving break and then accidentally over-wrote it with the one from the repository because I thought it would be the most up to date.

So, the current date parser has some bugs that were caught and fixed and then lost. The good news is I have re-fixed most of all those bugs and I just tested "11th Dec to 13th Dec" and it parsed it correctly. The new parser should be pushed live in a day or so.

Cool. Thanks a lot.
