limit-of-life's Issues

Create a better way to import life-grid events in calendar automatically

Currently user have to manually add the generated calendar file in their calendar app. There should be an automatic way to do the same but it will require you to authorize this web app to access your calendar app.

Possible solution: By making request to Google Calendar API within browser. Although, it has some limitations unlike manual addition method:

• It will work only for users using Google calendar, not for Apple's iCal, MS-outlook, etc. (need to implement a platform-independent way)
• The API call limit might not allow to add bulk events (~5200 events for 100 years life expectancy!)

Alternate Solution: Set up a web server which sends push notifications using Push Notification API each week with the same info as in event description. Though, this won't create events in calendar which may or may not be preferred by users.

Create an option to start the first week of life on Monday (or Sunday)

By default, 1st week of a user's life start on the weekday they were born (say Wednesday). But this causes every week in life-grid start on Wednesday since they continue the same 7-day cycle. This might not be preferable to some users who want the week start day of life-grid same as that of their calendar app when adding it in there.

To achieve this sync, an option can be created in form to allow week start on specified weekday, hence same will follow in generated calendar file.
