Ability to create Weekly Notes?

[iwoloschin]

Is there a way to rework the "Daily Journal" functionality into something like a "Weekly Journal" or "Monthly Journal" function? I've been using the daily journal feature for about a month and a half, and while it works well I've found for my use case I'd rather a coarser note granularity, probably at the weekly level, but I could also see a use case where someone might want notes created on a monthly basis.

I just exposed existing methods to get "month note" and "year note" to the backend API. Then it would be easy enough to change "Today" scripted button to call api.getMonthNote() instead of current api.getDateNote().

"Weekly note" is tricker although I understand it might be a good copromise between too fine grained day and too coarse month. How do you propose these notes should be named? Just e.g. "2019-27" for 27th week of the year?

Awesome!

I think your proposal, "Week of the Year", is probably fine. It might also be nice to support a "First Day of the Week" naming scheme, though it kind of doesn't matter so long as it's chronologically sorted.

I added a basic API which will create a note for the first day of the week. It's now pretty clear there might be several desirable configurations:

• configurable start of the week (monday/sunday) - implemented
• name the note by first day of the week or number of the week in a year - missing
• include the name of the day (i.e. "monday") into the note's name - missing
• create week notes directly under year note instead of month notes - missing

Missing options might be implemented later based on the feedback ...
