Hi,
The main thing that prevents me from giving Obsidian a full thumbs up is that it doesnt allow me to work with dates that well. Let me explain what I’d like to do:

I’d like to be able to add dates with a @ symbol, i.e. when I type @, I should see a datepicker ( or date-time-picker). I’d write my date or choose it from the picker, and just like how the tags are listed on the sidepane, I’d have a list of dates there as well.

This clearly looks like a plugin idea, but I’ve gone through Obsidian’s and CodeMirror’s documentation, and I couldn’t find how to attach custom classes (i.e. after typing the @, I’d like the date to atleast be formatted differently).

Is there any existing plugin on this? I’d love for some help. Thanks!

+1 on this. No strong opinion on the syntax, but dates as a first class concept with search features built around them would be so useful.
