[Remind-Fans] Determining Ramadan & Eid?

[Ruthard Baudach]

Idea for a Very Ugly Workaround:

Pycalcal is a python library covering lots of calendars, including the Islamic one. (https://github.com/espinielli/pycalcal). Probably there are similar libraries for the programming language of your choice.

So ... if you wrote a script that added the REM lines specifying the Gregorian dates for Ramadan and Eid (or any other holiday your interested in) for the current year to your reminder files, you should only have to add a RUN directive that runs this script once a year to add these holidays to your reminders.
