Can you describe that utility?
- xp84 6mo agoNice try, Claude Code
- coldtea 6mo agoIs that meant to be a joke? I've been on HN for over a decade. Closer to ELIZA's era than that of LLMs. I'm curious because I'm also interested in hacking the Reminders app via its API, to add some features in a side app
- Schiendelman 6mo agoIf you try it out, I'm curious what you'd add! I'd be happy to make improvements.
- NetMageSCW 6mo agoOne thing I miss from the Newton was the universal design it had for accessing app data and extending apps that made such add-ons to the built-in apps relatively easy.
- Schiendelman 6mo agoEventKit is surprisingly good.
- xp84 6mo agoOh 100% a joke, that you were trying to get their prompt so you could get also get the same thing they had vibe-coded
- Schiendelman 6mo agoYeah! I mean I published it on the app store, too. It does three core things: 1) Makes sure every reminder gets a date and time if it doesn't have one 2) Snowplows them ahead of you, so if you go on vacation they're still in the near future 3) Moves reminders out of the way if you accept or create a calendar event conflicting with it It also preserves ordering when moving things (hence my snowplow approach). Soon it'll summarize what you did that day so you can feel good about what you get done - that's coming shortly, I'm testing the feature for another few days. There are a bunch of settings to tweak this - picking what reminder lists to include, setting a time window for when it'll reschedule things, etc. This should link to it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reminder-wrangler/id6759400510 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reminder-wrangler/id6759400510
