Lunar Calendar to Gregorian calendar #138

Open johnyhh opened 2 years ago

johnyhh commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if I input a date of lunar calendar and then it convert to gregorian calendar and reminder me every year.

2 use case:

  1. My mother celebrate for her birthday in lunar calendar, I would like to know what is the date in gregorian calendar every year.
  2. I want to record the date of Mid-Autumn Festival (Aug 15 in lunar calendar).

Sorry for the horribly late answer, i didn't see this issue for some reason. So what you would like is a lunar to gregorian date converter inside the app, right? Maybe in settings? Or available in the details of each event?

can set memory date in Lunar Calendar, then reminder me every year for the Lunar date.

I see. So you would like to use a completely different calendar to save the events, instead of the standard one. I'll make some research as soon as possible!

Awesome, thanks!

I would like to add to that issue. I'm from Israel and we also use a different calendar called the Hebrew calendar. In general I find programming anything time related to be challenging so if you are up to it I suggest reading the Wikipedia article for calendar types

Supporting multiple calendars and date formats is really challenging. I'm aware that the gregorian calendar is not universally used, but i'm still thinking of a smart way to support multiple calendars without breaking the app entirely. That's why i tagged this issue with the "help needed" label 😄
