format daily notes titles and all dates as namespaces? #230

Open plaxdan opened 4 years ago

Describe the problem

TBH I'm not familiar with future plans for namespaces within Roam so this is half question/half feature request. It seems like if namespaces have some significance in the future of Roam, then it might make sense to format dates (and the titles of the daily notes pages) to use a namespace type format.

Feature implementation

Each new daily note would be titled as:

2020/05/15/14:35/Some optional title perhaps?

Additionally, might it make sense to format dates created with the /date datepicker in the same year/month/day namespaced style?

If implemented this way, people could easily drill up / down the namespace hierarchy to see 2020, 2020/05, 2020/05/20 etc.

👏 Dates, times, and events seem like fundamentals that any graph would likely find useful.

Dates and times don't seem to be supported as well as they should, as well as some native understanding of events. Namespaced year/month/day (and maybe even /hour) seems like a really great idea.

More focus in this direction could open up a Calendar view, easier future planning and retrospectives, drill up/down, and maybe even querying.
