[FEATURE REQUEST] Create/view monthly and yearly notes from the Calendar

As a user of the Obsidian Calendar plugin, I have found it to be an incredibly useful tool for organizing my notes and tasks. However, I believe that there is a feature that would take it to the next level: the ability to create and view monthly and yearly notes directly from the calendar. In this article, I will explain why I think this feature is essential and how it can be implemented.

The Current State of the Obsidian Calendar Plugin

The Obsidian Calendar plugin is a powerful tool that allows users to view their notes and tasks in a calendar format. It is a great way to visualize your schedule and plan your day, week, or month. However, as useful as it is, there are some limitations to its functionality. One of the main limitations is that it does not allow users to create and view notes directly from the calendar.

A Fork of the Obsidian Calendar Plugin

There is a fork of the Obsidian Calendar plugin that has incorporated all the outstanding pull requests. This fork, which can be found on GitHub, has added a feature that allows users to click on the month and year text in the calendar leaf. This feature is incredibly useful, as it allows users to quickly and easily navigate to specific dates and view the corresponding notes.

The Benefits of Creating and Viewing Monthly and Yearly Notes

Creating and viewing monthly and yearly notes directly from the calendar would be incredibly useful for several reasons. Firstly, it would allow users to quickly and easily view their notes and tasks for a specific month or year. This would be especially useful for users who need to review their progress over a long period of time.

Secondly, it would allow users to create new notes and tasks directly from the calendar. This would be a huge time-saver, as users would no longer need to navigate to a separate note-taking interface to create new notes.

Thirdly, it would allow users to view their notes and tasks in a more visual and intuitive way. By viewing their notes and tasks in a calendar format, users would be able to see how their tasks and projects are progressing over time.

Implementing the Feature

Implementing the feature of creating and viewing monthly and yearly notes directly from the calendar would require some significant changes to the Obsidian Calendar plugin. However, it is definitely possible.

One way to implement this feature would be to add a new button to the calendar leaf that allows users to create a new note for a specific month or year. This button could be labeled "Create Note" or "Add Task," and it could be placed next to the month and year text.

When a user clicks on the "Create Note" button, a new note would be created with the current date and time as the title. The user could then add their notes and tasks to the new note, and save it to their vault.

Another way to implement this feature would be to add a new panel to the calendar interface that allows users to view their notes and tasks for a specific month or year. This panel could be labeled "Notes" or "Tasks," and it could be placed below the calendar leaf.

When a user clicks on a specific month or year in the calendar, the notes and tasks for that month or year would be displayed in the new panel. The user could then view their notes and tasks, and add new notes and tasks as needed.

In conclusion, creating and viewing monthly and yearly notes directly from the calendar would be an incredibly useful feature for the Obsidian Calendar plugin. It would allow users to quickly and easily view their notes and tasks for a specific month or year, and create new notes and tasks directly from the calendar.

I believe that implementing this feature would be a huge improvement to the Obsidian Calendar plugin, and would make it even more convenient and user-friendly. I hope that the developers of the plugin will consider implementing this feature in the future.

In addition to the feature of creating and viewing monthly and yearly notes directly from the calendar, there are several other ideas that could be implemented to make the Obsidian Calendar plugin even more useful.

One idea would be to add a feature that allows users to view their notes and tasks in a quarterly format. This would be especially useful for users who need to review their progress over a long period of time.

Another idea would be to add a feature that allows users to view their notes and tasks in a daily format. This would be especially useful for users who need to review their progress on a daily basis.

Finally, another idea would be to add a feature that allows users to export their notes and tasks to a CSV or Excel file. This would be especially useful for users who need to share their notes and tasks with others.

In conclusion, creating and viewing monthly and yearly notes directly from the calendar would be an incredibly useful feature for the Obsidian Calendar plugin. It would allow users to quickly and easily view their notes and tasks for a specific month or year, and create new notes and tasks directly from the calendar.

I believe that implementing this feature would be a huge improvement to the Obsidian Calendar plugin, and would make it even more convenient and user-friendly. I hope that the developers of the plugin will consider implementing this feature in the future.
