[Remind-Fans] New Remind helper script: remint - a Text UI for Remind

[Mathieu]

Thanks s lot, Dianne, and happy to see that it can be of any use for others!  

The ambition indeed is not to compete with Wyrd, I hope both tools can fill different niches. Here, the whole event editing is left to the text editor in the Remnind language. I simply wanted a minimal and rather portable viewer for Remind's nice text outputs, but with navigation/interaction features, a few toggles to customize the views, and seamless editing/refreshing. Bash is probably not the best for that but my skills are limited and I wanted no dependencies, since Wyrd is not easily installed on all distributions.

There's room for improvement but I want to keep it simple. I find it works best for me as a floating window when clicking on my clock.

Cheers,

M
