Google Calendar Natural Language Input

Use natural language to create Google Calendar events. Updated 'Rip Quick Add' with quality of life features.

Google Calendar used to have a natural language input to create calendar events. Think "Get groceries next Thursday from 3:30 to 5pm". They deprecated this feature, leaving millions of unhappy users in the process. 'Rip Quick Add' is an open source chrome extension aiming to fix this issue, and this extension is based of that, but with several quality of life features added. For example: press 'Command + E' (`Ctrl + E` on Windows) to pull up a text input to add your event details. UPDATE: Now supporting recurring events. Just make sure to include a number for recurrences. Examples: Get dinner with friends Friday at 5pm every 3 weeks Go the grocery story on Thursday night every 1 week Note the "1" is needed for weekly occurrences. Supports daily, weekly, and monthly recurrences. If the extension doesn't work for you, go to `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` to see what other extensions are using the `Command+E` shortcut, and change them to something else. This textbox is autofocused and listening for 'enter' keypresses - all jargon aside, this update makes it more aesthetic and more functional than the original extension. HOW TO USE : 1. Install the extension 2. `Command+E` to open extension menu. Swap `Command` for `Ctrl` for all cases below for Windows users. 3. Type an event name, date, and time in natural language, eg "Get flowers for wife next week" will create a calendar event called "Get flowers for wife" with the date 7 days from today. Another example: "Schedule a call with Peter next Friday at 4pm" will create a calendar event prepopulated for the following Friday at 4pm called "Schedule a call with Peter". NB: you can easily find edge cases that the parsing engine doesn't handle, like "Talk to friends 10 days before the next full moon" and the like, so don't go too crazy with your event details. 4. Press `Enter` 5. A Google Calendar page will open. Press `Command+S` to save the event, then `Command+W` to close. 6. Congrats, you just created a calendar event using natural language with NO mouse movement! Your carpal tunnel thanks you.
