Display the birthdays that will happen in the next 7 days
A personal favorite of mine is adding this to my ~/.bashrc to display upcoming birthdays.

bday list --before $(date -d "+7 days" "+%Y-%m-%d") 2> /dev/null

Note that this displays nothing if no birthdays are coming up.

Special thanks

This project was inspired by IonicaBizau's "birthday" tool.
I wanted to try making my own version in Rust as a learning experience.
