@Ruth_Mottram use a simple calender it's free and stays the same...

@lemgandi I only managed that by virtue of refusing to use anything else. But I have many friends who have still not switched. And getting the teenagers on to password managers and proton was a struggle too

@Ruth_Mottram @lemgandi this is how i mostly have for people to signal too, or lost touch with them tbh. i have had less luck with getting my YA’s to take this kinda thing on board but this reminds me to have another go

@Ruth_Mottram I got 85% of the way through making one as a plugin for Obsidian, at a friend's request. Been too swamped lately to finish it, but I'll share it publicly once it's ready.
