I hadn’t seen the [Today’s Date Shortcut](https://community.fibery.io/t/todays-date-shortcut/8145) post yet…I will say that what I’d like to see more is a comprehensive handling of dates like in Roam, Tana, and the Motion app I mentioned, that would incorporate the @date mention that is discussed in that request, and for sure I am talking about here as the key element of what I am voting for…but what I’d like to see, and what **is not in Notion (as far as I’m aware),** is the ability to have a page or area that pulls in all of what’s going on around that date. In Tana for example, it will show on a “daily notes” page both mentions of the date via @mention, and if you have that date included as a due date, or mentioned in any other way. This is super useful and helps create a great view of what’s currently going on in an instance. This can basically serve as a “what is happening today in your company”.

So I vote to keep this feature separate from the other one, which is kind of a “sub feature” of this. Thanks again!
