Calendar Plus - huge update to the Calendar and Periodic Notes plugins
Hey all, with the new plugin review system I decided to polish and release my personal fork of Liam Cain’s original Calendar plugin - a plugin near and dear to my heart as I've used it every day for nearly 3 years now.
https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/calendar-plus
There are three big updates/differences:
- Periodic notes are integrated directly into the calendar plugin
- Month / year / quarter labels are clickable
- Dots simply indicate whether a note exists
There are also a lot of bug fixes and cleanup bringing both the calendar view and periodic note functionality up to current Obsidian plugin standards. Part of why I put time into this is that the original Calendar and Periodic Notes plugins haven’t been updated in ~4 years. They’re currently sitting in the 56–66% range on the new plugin scorecard as a result.
After several rounds of cleanup I've been able to get Calendar Plus to 99% on the scorecard w/ the one remaining recommendation being intentionally deferred for usability/functionality reasons.
This was built with a lot of support from Claude Code / Opus. And of course huge credit to Liam Cain for the original Calendar and Periodic Notes plugins. That groundwork is what made this update possible, along with inspiration from others like FBarrca who previously forked this.
I hope others who love the Calendar plugin find this to be a useful update! I'll do my best to respond to bugs/issues but don't plan to make major functionality changes at this stage. Keeping things simple is part of the point.
