So, it's going to be a lot of work if I do it but I've been considering building my own Content Management System (CMS) to allow teachers to easily make the calendar code by using interactive elements rather than copy pasting and debugging the whole code. I can't logically promise I'll keep maintaining this calendar for future years but it's also a lot of effort to manually redo the thing for a new year.

I was inspired by the faint memory of generating a Markdown table using a webpage which allowed me to make MD documents and preview the code for it, and with some vague keyword searching, I finally found that it was called a CMS!

Sure, the school might hand out paper timetables but the first day I got mine I lost it. It's also not a pretty piece of paper with exams listed all cramped up so you can't easily see your spread of exams. This was my villain origin story motivation to create the timetable originally!

So, Is it crazy to make a CMS for this? It sounds like a good project for sure!

"So, it's going to be a lot of work if I do it" is the line which makes me think no, i won't do it. at least not now. inshallah maybe in summer.
