Something that I would like to propose that the folks at Fibery give some consideration is to promote dates to more of a first class role in Fibery. What I hope for is that dates are automatically created as entities within their own default database/space. Currently I have to do this manually and …

Hard agree! Looks like they are already thinking about something of this type. Hopefully there will be a rich discussion about how it could work before implementation. [image] chestnut Fibery major conceptual (yet) unsolved problems Dates as Databases. There are many problems with date as a sim…

I was going to post about this request as this is a backbone of Notion, and Tana is making a great run now with having Dates as a major element in how it’s structured. I did not see the post @Oshyan yet in that thread you quoted, so good that this is being discussed. I think this is the biggest re…

Yeah, I would really, really love to have this addressed. I find myself unsure how it would work well with the current database model, particularly given the need for future dates, etc. But perhaps some light, specialized functionality that simply facilitates date selection and then automatic creati…

[image] Oshyan: But perhaps some light, specialized functionality that simply facilitates date selection and then automatic creation of that date entity would work. Yes good approach! Basically if each date was an entity of its own…would also love to see the ability to have a “today” page an…

A dedicated “on this day” activity list would be nice. I was thinking of it just being the References to the date being that list, albeit only complete to the degree of explicit references. Are there things you would want to show up in such a list that aren’t explicit references?

Yes, I think it’s very useful to have a page, or an area, that shows you all the activity you did on a certain day - done in a more sophisticated presentation that just like an “activity log” you can pull up and see all you did. Possibly with the ability to turn on or off the “all activity” vs. jus…

Just wanted to give this another bump - my team extensively writes out dates in Fibery - when updating docs, in titles, etc. and it would really be a dream to be able to do something like type “@today” and have today’s date pre-fill…you guys remain ahead with your natural language in date handling -…

Technically this is possible with scripting. You have an automation that triggers every night to overwrite all text that says “Today” with the current date. Having it update in real time while the user is typing is possible, but results in lost data if the user is still typing. See other example he…

I hadn’t seen the Today’s Date Shortcut 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 …

Hey! I built just this! It’s a bit annoying to have to add the auto-linking per date, but it works! Better Dates in Fibery. Dates as Databases
