https://git.cjennings.net/chime/atom?h=main2026-04-04T20:20:41+00:00Remove unused chime--today function2026-04-04T20:20:41+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T20:20:41+00:00urn:sha1:dfef5a4bb5afe6420f92ecaa43759086286285f0
Defined and tested but never called from any production code.
Bundle multiple day-wide events into a single notification2026-04-04T20:15:25+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T20:15:25+00:00urn:sha1:4c9730a6e88f1f0173d9712311f65f348d211f4e
When all-day event alert times trigger, multiple events (overdue tasks,
birthdays, holidays) previously fired individual notifications — one
sound and one popup each. With 8-10 events this was overwhelming.
Now multiple day-wide events are bundled into a single notification
with all messages joined by newlines. Single events still notify
normally without bundling.
Show modeline icon immediately on chime-mode enable2026-04-04T19:11:48+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T19:11:48+00:00urn:sha1:ffc9707790a3dff195bd827c17039faf0dcf44b0
Previously chime-modeline-string was nil until the first async check
completed (~10-15 seconds after startup). Now the icon appears
instantly with a "waiting for first event check" tooltip.
On validation or async failure, the icon stays visible and the
tooltip updates to show the error state instead of going blank.
Default modeline lighter to empty string2026-04-04T19:02:17+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T19:02:17+00:00urn:sha1:559231d91ca24a7a7b632261643b9f4eff329fbb
The bell emoji lighter was redundant alongside the alarm clock
event display in global-mode-string. One icon is enough. Users
who want a separate mode indicator can set chime-modeline-lighter.
Improve defaults: 2-hour modeline window, notify at event time2026-04-04T18:59:45+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T18:59:45+00:00urn:sha1:7a0141f90ed214e1a7d87c2c1d04d7b0d084db09
Bump chime-modeline-lookahead-minutes from 60 to 120 so events
within the next 2 hours show in the modeline. The old 60-minute
default hid events most users would expect to see.
Add (0 . high) to default chime-alert-intervals so users get a
notification at event time in addition to 10 minutes before.
The single-notification default meant a missed alert had no backup.
Add comments for non-obvious code patterns2026-04-04T18:39:52+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T18:39:52+00:00urn:sha1:028fa467ad3ba640a76a3936d00176ff5896115d
Clarify: dash cartesian product pipeline in chime--notifications,
butlast 2 dropping USEC/PSEC from time values, Emacs time type
guard, upcoming-events item structure, rx macroexpand for async
env injection, backquoted lambda subprocess boundary, and
org-end-of-meta-data nil argument meaning.
Remove dead code and reduce default tooltip lookahead to 1 week2026-04-04T18:32:47+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T18:32:47+00:00urn:sha1:f550d134f4a1ad30c425285c4d390f7277cbee32
Remove chime--agenda-buffer-name (unused variable) and
chime--extract-birthday-year (superseded by chime--parse-birthday).
Reduce chime-tooltip-lookahead-hours from 8760 (1 year) to 168
(1 week). The 1-year default caused org-agenda-list to scan a
365-day span every check cycle, which is slow for large org
collections. The tooltip only shows 5 events, so a week is
sufficient for most users.
Hoist loop-invariant computations and remove redundant sort2026-04-04T18:31:11+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T18:31:11+00:00urn:sha1:e681fcbc92c15cbc4e01ab879c3b407c715dc824
Performance improvements with no behavioral change:
- chime--group-events-by-day: hoist decode-time calls before loop
- chime-event-has-any-passed-time: compute today-start once, not per timestamp
- chime-event-is-today: same pattern
- chime--build-upcoming-events-list: remove first sort (discarded by hash dedup)
- chime--process-notifications: use -mapcat instead of -map + -flatten
Nil chime--timer after cancellation in chime--stop2026-04-04T18:27:30+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T18:27:30+00:00urn:sha1:6d133a26f905cf38595599eb3271563911762e2b
The timer variable was left pointing at a cancelled timer object.
Now set to nil so state accurately reflects no active timer.
Extract days-until calculation from chime--day-wide-notification-text2026-04-04T18:08:29+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-04-04T18:08:29+00:00urn:sha1:2ee215e1f948f3ac398f46bb995ac94ec3ce3a61
Move the all-day timestamp date arithmetic into chime--days-until-event.
The notification text function now reads clearly as a cond dispatch
over today/advance-notice/fallback cases.
