I love this! I usually use the UG iPhone app which isn't great, so if this is PWA-abble, I'd be stoked. The biggest issue I have with UG is that it can't be used offline. Often I'm out camping or something and just need a refresher on the lyrics but am thwarted by connectivity

Not even if it were self-hostable, open source with an MIT license?

I've had similar ideas and have tried little scripts that do this. It's a start but I think the crucial issue is the format and ui of calendar apps. It doesn't feel durable or easily searchable. And they've been seemingly stagnant for years.

Time and space are constants of everyone's life. You're always somewhere at some time. I've been dreaming of a centralized time & space view layer for years. Something that ingests all this data we have at our fingertips. This article gets really close to what I've imagined. Add in a map and you're able to correlate all sorts of behavior in order to understand yourself and the human condition so much better.

P.S. I'm totally open to hacking out an MVP with someone if this post resonates strongly with you.

there were definite patterns. Certain orgs, roles, and offices seem to have been more heavily affected than others

I’ve naturally developed a similar syntax to this and recently dumped all my notes into NotePlan 3. It’s been one of the best task management/note taking solutions I’ve found yet (not an ad, just an enthusiastic user!) With a little bit of find-and-replace in your favorite editor, you get great UX across platforms and all the benefits of plaintext without too many additions/deviations from standard markdown.

The one big addition I’d make to this syntax is a time estimate. I use the syntax ~15m or ~2.5h etc. With the autotimebox plugin in Noteplan 3, I’m able to automatically fill in blank space on my calendar with these as events. If things come up and the day doesn’t go as planned, I just run autotimebox again and it finds a new time for them
