Library: Journal navigation

Plugs and Libraries

Hi everyone,

I’ve created an initial release of a library for a journal navigation header, allowing previous/next navigation through a journal. This is currently closely tied to my /Journal/Day layout, but I’ll add config settings for daily/weekly journals, journal path, etc. as soon as I can.

URL: Import journal-navigation.md from the following repository (either tag 0.1, trunk, or edge

I haven’t really optimized this at ALL, but it’s been working for me without any unexpected behavior for a while. The annoying thing I haven’t found a way to fix is the link color: it’s blue on black for me, which isn’t great!

Can you show us a screenshot? Would love to see what this looks like in practice

Here you go! This is on iOS but it looks essentially the same on desktop. Using ayu-light theme with my base16 theme loader.

That’s delightful. This has mainly been a “learn how Lua” works set of projects for me, so I’m keeping it simple, but that is definitely nicer than what I came up with!

This is nice,can you share the code?
Thanks

This is something that has been on my to do list for a while. Although I would love to place it in the right hand pane, maybe this will give me some energy to do it

Link to Codeberg repo is in the post.

It would be neat if there was a way to link up SB with an actual calendar. Maybe through CalDAV’s notes/vjournal protocol.

Not exactly what you are asking for but there was this: iCalendar query provider at some point. So definitely a possibility.
