## Usage idea
It's for what i develop this app. Terminal-based notes. Open (or create) file for selected date
> After time i rewrite my bash scripts to one project: [tty-diary](https://github.com/maraloon/tty-diary), so if you want to diarize like me, check it
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env sh
prev_selected_date=$(date +"%Y/%m/%d")
while true
do
selected_date=$(pickdate -m --start-at $prev_selected_date) || exit 1
nvim "$HOME/diary/$selected_date.md" # opens diary/2025/01/15.md
prev_selected_date=$selected_date # alows to stay in selected date after quit editor
done
```

### `--format` values
You can use both left and right format types
| Format | Go Layout |

| `yyyy/mm/dd` | `2006/01/02` |
| `Y/m/d` | `2006/01/02` |
| `yyyy-mm-dd` | `2006-01-02` |
| `Y-m-d` | `2006-01-02` |
| `F j, Y` | `January 2, 2006` |
| `m/d/y` | `01/02/06` |
| `M-d-y` | `Jan-02-06` |
| `l` | `Monday` |
| `D` | `Mon` |
| `d` | `02` |
| `j` | `2` |
| `F` | `January` |
| `M` | `Jan` |
| `m` | `01` |
| `n` | `1` |
| `Y` | `2006` |
| `y` | `06` |
## Set custom colors for days
You can send string to stdin to set custom colors for each day.
String format: `color1:day1,day2;color2:day3,day31`
`color` - `[0-15]` or hex (`#b16286`)
`day` - `2006/01/02`
example: `echo "#b16286:2025/08/10,2025/08/11;#d79920:2025/08/12" | pickdate`
## TODO
