Support for klog in skid (assignment scheduler)

[acikek]

Hey all, been awhile :) I've been working on this project recently called skid that tracks school assignments for students. Seeing as assignments are organized into dates (records) and classes (tags), I thought support for klog would be a perfect addition. So, I pushed that just now!

In my tool, this is pretty useful for assignments you're just about to mark as 'complete', since no other information other than completed assignments' names gets pushed to that section. Unfortunately, there's no data for how long an assignment might take, so I just have the user input an average for all the assignments, such as 1h, and they can modify it later if need be.

Here's an example, with some test assignments in my chemistry / Spanish classes:

You can check the project out on crates.io here, and the repo is here. Enjoy!

Cool idea to integrate klog that way into your tool, it seems like a lightweight addition. Just out of curiosity, how do you store the data? Is in in plain text or do you use a database for example?

It's a custom format. You can use the encode command to see what the data will look like.
The format is like this: each line is a class, sorted by period. class_id,Class Name,[Assignment Name;d-m-y]...,completed assignments...
