I am pleased to announce the initial release of Wyrd, a text-based
front-end for Remind. Wyrd makes no attempt to replace your text editor
for the creation of reminders, but it may make your editing more
efficient. For example, you can:
* select a reminder on the calendar view, and your editor will open
with the cursor on the corresponding REM line
* select an open timeslot on the calendar, and cause your editor to
open with a new REM template (time and date information already filled in)
* search through the calendar for reminders with a MSG matching a
regular expression
Other features include configurable keybindings, negligible startup
time, and a user interface reminiscent of the Mutt email client. It is
written in OCaml and requires the ncurses library. It has been tested
only on GNU/Linux, but I expect no problems compiling on any *nix
system. The default setup uses Vim as the text editor, but this
can be easily changed via a configuration file (examples for emacs and
nano are provided in comments).
Wyrd REQUIRES the new remind-03.00.23 which David just announced today.
Source code and the obligatory screenshot are available at

Feedback is welcome! Enjoy,
Paul
