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.
I have some things going on in my config to intercept daily notes and insert the template if a page doesn’t yet exist. Happy to share that too, though it’s not pretty.

Very nice! I use a small calendar that highlights which days have notes, and it lets me quickly jump to any note - even across different months and years.
For inspiration, here’s what it looks like

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 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

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](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/icalendar-query-provider/1594) at some point. So definitely a possibility.
