Description

Goal

Parse iCalendar .ics files into structured events and/or Markdown agendas. Pure: no I/O, just parsing and structuring.

Scope/Features

  • Parse .ics text into event structs
  • Output as Markdown: agenda with event time, summary, location
  • Optionally support Markdown ↔ .ics (if feasible)

Rough WIT shape

  • ics_to_md(input: string) -> result<string, error>
  • md_to_ics(input: string) -> result<string, error> (optional)

Candidate crates

Labels

  • good first issue

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the 'ical' crate's API for parsing .ics strings, then implement 'ics to md' to extract events and format into Markdown. Optionally implement 'md to ics' by reversing the process.
