Wyrd is a curses front-end to remind. It is written in OCaml.
This repository is based off the Debian source for Wyrd version 1.4.6; I could not find a reachable, public repository.
While the mainline version of Wyrd allows configuring a bunch of
strings in the rc file ~/.wyrdrc, for example set timed_template="REM %monname% %mday% %year% AT %hour%:%min% DURATION 1:00 MSG ", it does not allow configuring the exact expansions for
%monname% and friends. This is especially annoying for %mday%,
which is hard-coded to the equivalent of printf "%d"; lines written
in the first nine days of a month and the following ones will not line
up properly:
REM Jul 8 2017 AT 08:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG The month starts!
REM Jul 15 2017 AT 08:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG Mid-month ;_;
The present version of Wyrd adds format specifiers monname_fmt,
mon_fmt, mday_fmt, year_fmt, hour_fmt, min_fmt,
wdayname_fmt, and wday_fmt. When configuring the format for
%wday% as set mday_fmt = "%2d", the two timestamps above will
instead be rendered as follows:
REM Jul 8 2017 AT 09:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG The month starts!
REM Jul 15 2017 AT 08:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG Mid-month ^_^
Observe how the MSG columns now line up nicely. As they should.
