I will still keep on using the datepicker because it does exactly what I need it to do. It picks the date for me. I see that you're very persistent to say the least 😁, which is good for the community. The work you've done is impressive, considering that is free. I had a look at the updated `space lua / javascript` implemenation of your datepicker. Big wall of code to get lost into 😁 . Previous one is a bit smaller. Until @zef or whoever in the community ( even me if I find the time and energy), comes up with a proper collapsable (persistent) block, I would rather stay with the `medium wall of text` in my `CONFIG.md` file. It has already become unmanagable to go a read and find something. I currently have headers which I have to collapse one at a time until I reach the spot I need. And yes I already know about your TOC on the side :), but for the same reasons I have avoided it so far. Although the discussion is shifting away from the main topic post. So for anyone else to follow along. The updated [DatePicker add-on as SlashCommand - #19 by Mr.Red](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/datepicker-add-on-as-slashcommand/3679/19), now includes the formatting and date referencing configurable. You don't need neccessarily a custom `getPrettyDate()` unless you want to also override the `/yesterday` and `/tomorrow` slash commands. I'm pretty sure that @Mr.Red will make another update soon to include them also 😄 . --- _[View the full topic](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/trying-to-replicate-the-logseq-journal/3995)._
