Entering dated Events

Since the Bangle now got dated Events I was wondering how do you add them? Obviously you can use the alarm app to do that, but it can take quite a lot of time if you need to add lots of events.

Do you use Gadgetbridge or similar to add events?

As an alternative I was thinking about adding an interface.html to alarm (or scheduler) that can upload *.ics files and convert them to scheduler events. What do you think?

Well... hacked a prototype with https://github.com/kewisch/ical.js

That looks like it could be a great idea! Even better if there could be a data/time picker in there too?

Spectre, which we use for the look&feel, has a date picker in it: https://picturepan2.github.io/spectre/experimentals/calendars.html

Perhaps also it makes sense to do like we did for textinput and allow certain apps to provide a library for entering dates/times on the Bangle?

The Spectre calendar looks complicated, so I decided to use the default for input type=datetime-local
