[Remind-Fans] Ways to use Remind

[taekoocair at wilsonb.com]

Neat. This looks nice for single-person use to synchronize between personal
devices. My primary use case of Google Calendar is as a collaborative tool.
I'm not sure how to have that without going through some service with large
market share, though.

I use remind + remint on all my devices (including my phone, but it has a hardware keyboard so that simplifies using a terminal calendar and editor on it) and display my reminders in a calendar view using remint to wrap the remind functions into keybindings. Then I synchronize my reminders file to git, as remint now has functions to automate the commit, push and pull actions.

But if anyone wants to try, the latest version can (1) show the history of changes of the synchronized reminders files (see attachment), (2) use a configuration file thereby removing the need to edit the script itself and losing changes on new updates, and (3) switch between different reminders files or (4) different remint-configuration files on the fly. (3) should be useful for those who organize their reminders into different files for different contexts (i.e., work vs. personal). There is an option in the configuration to make the git synchronization automatic.
