I like this. It's a lot like Emacs `diary` system. Though, you can group multiple events under one day heading. I will say that I like how `grep`-able this is.

As long as you know the rules, it's pretty easy to parse. You could probably whip up an alarm system in bash and cron/systemd and let it alert you like all those big-box programs do.

Exactly. Some people are looking at the format and thinking "well, this doesn't do much" but they're missing the point: it's a plain text format that plays very well with other common tools such that 'doing more' is trivial.

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