gday-cli v1.3.0 - Appointment Grouping & Flexible Sorting

Comprehensive schedule formatting improvements with appointment grouping and flexible sorting controls.

What's New

🎯 Smart Appointment Grouping (New Default)

Schedule entries now group appointment blocks together instead of strict chronological interleaving, dramatically improving readability.

Before (interleaved):

| 7:00am  | 🚜 K construction sync           |
| 7:00am  | 🌞 Wake kiddos                   |
| 7:30am  | 🚜🚜 K construction sync          |
| 7:30am  | 🌞🌞 Wake kiddos                  |

After (grouped):

| 7:00am  | 🚜 K construction sync           |
| 7:30am  | 🚜🚜 K construction sync          |
| 8:00am  | 🚜🚜🚜 K construction sync        |
| 7:00am  | 🌞 Wake kiddos                   |
| 7:30am  | 🌞🌞 Wake kiddos                  |

🎛️ Flexible Sorting Controls

New CLI flags give you complete control over schedule layout:

  • --sort-alpha - Group appointments together (new default)
  • --sort-interleaved - Strict chronological order (old behavior)

📋 Enhanced Help Documentation

Updated help text includes sorting options and practical examples for all new features.

🍒 Cherry Tomato Time Indicators

Off-hour appointments (not :00 or :30) now get clock emojis with cherry tomato indicators:

  • 10:15am → 🕙🍒 (rounds down to 10:00 + cherry indicator)
  • 11:45am → 🕦🍒 (rounds down to 11:30 + cherry indicator)
  • 12:30pm → 🕧 (exact time match, no cherry needed)

Cherry tomatoes represent "smaller than a 25-minute 🍅 pomodoro" time blocks.

🧹 Clean Markdown Output

Fixed trailing whitespace in "Later Today..." section headers for cleaner markdown files.

Usage Examples

# Default appointment grouping (recommended)
gday                          

# Specific sorting modes
gday --sort-alpha friday      # Friday with appointment grouping  
gday --sort-interleaved       # Old chronological behavior
gday --sort-interleaved later # Later today with time sorting

# Works with all date options
gday --sort-alpha yesterday
gday --sort-interleaved "June 5, 1986"

Benefits

  • Dramatically Better Readability: See each appointment as a cohesive time block
  • Flexible Control: Choose your preferred sorting style via CLI flags
  • Backward Compatible: --sort-interleaved preserves v1.2.0 behavior
  • Cleaner Files: No trailing whitespace in markdown output
  • Enhanced UX: Comprehensive help documentation with practical examples

Breaking Changes

None - The new appointment grouping is the default, but all existing functionality is preserved. Users preferring the old chronological interleaving can use --sort-interleaved.
