Storage model

Events stored as Markdown notes inside the vault
one event note per event, using YAML frontmatter metadata
event notes remain searchable, linkable, and portable
configurable events folder path in plugin settings

Example event note shape:

---
uid: abc123
event: true
allDay: true
title: Birthday party
start: 2026-04-20
end: 2026-04-22
color: "#e74c3c"
type: appointment
participants:
    - "[[Alice]]"
    - "[[Bob]]"
---
Optional notes about the event...

Event frontmatter

uid: stable internal event id
event: true or lindar-event: true: explicit marker for Lindar event notes
allDay: true: current storage mode for yearly bar rendering
title: visible label in the calendar
start: start date in YYYY-MM-DD (also accepts legacy date)
end: inclusive end date in YYYY-MM-DD (also accepts legacy endDate)
color: event bar color
type: optional category name matching a category defined in settings
participants: optional YAML list — each participant auto-wrapped as [[wikilink]] on save, brackets stripped for clean display in modal
note body: optional description/details

type stays intentionally free-form. Use values like:

appointment
call
meal
meeting
travel
deadline

...or any label matching your own workflow.

Existing older event notes without event, type, or participants remain compatible.

Compatibility notes

Older event notes continue loading even if they only have legacy fields.
event: false is treated as a deliberate opt-out and will not be loaded.
participants can be stored as a YAML list; empty values are ignored.
date/endDate legacy fields still read as fallbacks if start/end are absent.

Technical direction

TypeScript
esbuild
npm
Obsidian Plugin API
modular source structure under src/
pure Obsidian/DOM UI approach rather than a heavy web framework
