I keep thinking that *all* calendar apps are just agendas for meetings (mostly). Imagine a 'day view' that integrates your sleep, activity, music, weather, etc. - transforming the boring calendar into カレンダ in Japanese - a true personal organizer (and day-journal).

@bernaferrari Not really, the technique is pretty simple. I just use a theme switcher. 'Dark' mode is the default state, and when the light bulb is switched, the theme becomes 'light'.

@raunofreiberg If you're using next-themes from @pacocoursey , make the setTheme(resolvedTheme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark') - not on 'theme', because if the default system is dark it will bug on the first theme change, because it will think that the current theme is light. Awesome site btw!
