 [Quick Add][article] was a Google Calendar feature that existed from 2012–[2017][rip] that enabled creating calendar events from natural language text input. I loved it and they deprecated it from me ☹️. This is my attempt to carry on its legacy. It uses the [Sherlock][sherlock] library to extract time data from text.
