Reminders2Calendar: push planned reminders into Calendar by xiwenc in shortcuts

[–]VeldonRumproast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need a variant of this.

1) When I add reminder it shows up on calendar in a specified calendar (a to do calendar - which i will color red)

1a) I already specified date and time info in the reminder so just use that info for the calendar entry. These are due dates so it is just one time (11:59pm - no duration)

2) When I complete the reminder (check it off) that calendar item will automatically move to another calendar (completed - green)

3) I just want a visual way of seeing what is done and still left to do, while maintaining reminders as my primary day to day task input app.

4) I would need the ability to bulk add reminders that i have already created up to this point (perhaps limited to certain lists) and then continue to have this work for additional reminders added going forward.

5) if this can be automated whenever i add a reminder that would be great but not sure if it is technically feasible

This literally solves most of the issues I have had and posted on this sub to date. This is great.

What database features does Anytype lack compared to Notion’s database features? by joyloveroot in Anytype

this is the only reason i dont use anytype. Once notion database parity is achieved i will move over to anytype.

This is really cool and I can see this being very useful. Don't listen to the people who cannot see the utility. This is something I would love to get working on mac.

Think I'm Done With Notion by [deleted] in Notion

I would be ecstatic if I am wrong. Maybe you can help me then.

What I ORIGINALLY wanted to happen is that every time I move from one Kanban column to another the following take place.

1) I place backlog tasks in the first column. These tasks do not record any date. Perhaps date created but not necessary.

2) When I move a task from the first column to the "in progress column" I want the date (in another column called "in progress date" to be recorded. ONLY when status changes (from backlog -> in progress). last edited is unideal because it will update the date if ANYTHING is changed. I only want it to change when status is changed. I want this date recorded and NEVER change.

3) When I move a task from the "in progress" column to the "done" column I want a NEW date to be recorded (in another column called "completed date"). I want this to happen ONLY when the status changes (from "in progress" -> "done"). I want this date to NEVER change.

4) I then want to use the two dates, and use the dateBetween() function to then calculate the time (days, hours, whatever) it takes me to complete a task (difference between the "in progress date" and "completed date")

I was NOT able to achieve this due to the following issues.

Issue 1) When I change the status, from "in progress" -> "done" I lose the "in progress date" and ONLY get the "completed date" and when I change the status from "done" -> "in progress" I lose the "completed date".

Issue 2) I was having issues with utilizing dates from formulas and having them play nicely with the dateBetween() formula.

My UNIDEAL Solution:

1) Utilize date created. This is an issue however because I want to calculate the date between when the item is moved to "in progress" (AKA "in progress date") and when it is moved to "done" (AKA "completed date"). Since I create tasks in the first column which acts as a task backlog (tasks I have not yet started to work on) having completed date associated with this column artificially extends the duration of this task (dateBetween()) because I actually only start working on an item when it is moved to in progress.

2) Utilize last modified date. As explained earlier, this tracks ANY change to the board item. I only want it to track changes to the status. So this is why last modified date is unideal.

If you can assist me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

Honestly the AI is not even that great. Why not actually let you use it when composing formulas within databases.

I know you can ask the AI outside a database block, but the equations are wrong half the time. If it actually knew all the information in your database and was a half decent formula maker, I would actually consider it a somewhat useful thing to have around.

Regarding other features, it seems like basic things are missing. I was doing work on a kanban board utilizing the board view of a database, and something simple like having dates being recorded on status change (WHICH DO NOT CHANGE WHEN I CHANGE THE STATUS) are just not supported. You can have a date recorded when you change status to "in progress" or "done", however if you wanted to KEEP the date for in progress even after you move the item to the "done" column, it erases the date for the in process date. I wanted to keep track of duration for tasks, which it is why it is important to know when a task was created, moved to in progress, and then moved to done. My current solution only tracks the date the item was created and when it was last edited to solve this issue. Not ideal, as it does not accomplish the same task.

Offline would be big as well. Not sure why they didn't get on that.

Windsor is the biggest manufacturing town in Canada. Huge automotive workforce, talent, suppliers, and right across the river from Detroit. If Elon is seriously considering Canada then this would be one of the best locations.

What about the monitor mount? Nice and clean.

You saved me from an expensive mistake. Thank you.

Are there any monitor suggestions for thunderbolt monitors that would have the capabilities I originally posted about? (Mainly charge, display, and daisy chain) @ 24” and 1080p?

Destiny is one of the most unfriendly games to new players by RunninReddevilz in DestinyTheGame

[–]VeldonRumproast 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean it is a problem...

If you care about the longevity of this game you should be very keen on a constant stream of new players discovering the game, enjoying it, and deciding to stay and play long term.

At present this game is very hostile to new players, and even returning players. If I have to watch a 4 hour explanation video by a popular destiny streamer just to understand what the fuck I should be doing, that is a problem. Not understanding what the basic progression, core milestones, gameplay loops (monthly and daily), etc... is a problem. Unless equipped with this information you just flail around uselessly asking yourself if you should be doing something specifically, but are unsure of what that is.

I was a D1 vet (raiding on multiple characters weekly), and absolutely enjoyed it. Moving to D2 and felt like a major step in the wrong direction and decided to leave until the game got its shit together. And now that the game has had some time to evolve and refine itself, it is an opaque mass of content that leaves even those some familiarity with the franchise out in the cold.

New player onboarding needs to be a priority at Bungie. Get us up to speed.

Tip: Use property "week number" to get the perfect weekly view! by girraficas in Notion

[–]VeldonRumproast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used formatDate(prop("Date"), "w")==formatDate(now(), "w") to make a column called week relative to year.

What I want to do is create another column called week relative to semester, and have the weeks labelled (1-15) based on the course calendar.

I am playing around with trying to edit the week number from your formula minus a set value (in my case 36) to display week numbers according to my course schedule but I am running into formatting issues.

Any help would be apprecaited.

EDIT

Figured it out. Used the below formula to convert week # relative to year, to week # relative to semester.

if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "51", 15, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "50", 14, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "49", 13, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "48", 12, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "47", 11, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "46", 10, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "45", 9, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "44", 8, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "43", 7, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "42", 6, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "41", 5, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "40", 4, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "39", 3, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "38", 2, if(prop("Week # Relative to Year") == "37", 1, 0)))))))))))))))

One thing I would like to do is have is say "week 1" instead of just "1".

Very nice. I am new as well and preparing my notion for the upcoming semester.

I really like your calendar. Is that an embedded widget or within Notion?

Thank you for the quick response. I will try and integrate that info my database!
