Why GCSA?

:alt: 50 push-ups in one month
:align: right
I found that picture "The 50 push-ups in a month challenge" back in 2017 and decided it was time to try it.
I wanted a calendar reminder of how many push-ups I need to do every day. As a developer, I couldn't afford
to spend *10 minutes* putting the events manually. So I spent *3 hours* getting the official API to work to do this
for me. Then I thought that this simple task shouldn't take *3 hours* and have spent the next *couple of days*
implementing the initial version of the gcsa. Several years later, I'm happy that people find this project useful.
If you'd like to try this yourself, here's the code you need:
.. code-block:: python
from gcsa.google_calendar import GoogleCalendar
from gcsa.event import Event
from beautiful_date import D, drange, days, MO
gc = GoogleCalendar()
PUSH_UPS_COUNT = [
5, 5, 0, 5, 10, 0, 10,
0, 12, 12, 0, 15, 15, 0,
20, 24, 0, 25, 30, 0, 32,
35, 35, 0, 38, 40, 0, 42,
45, 50
]
# starting next Monday (of course)
# +1 days for the case that today is Monday
start = D.today()[9:00] + 1 * days + MO
end = start + len(PUSH_UPS_COUNT) * days
for day, push_ups in zip(drange(start, end), PUSH_UPS_COUNT):
e = Event(
f'{push_ups} Push-Ups' if push_ups else 'Rest',
start=day,
minutes_before_popup_reminder=5
)
gc.add_event(e)
Needless to say, I can't do 50 push-ups.
Let me know in Discord_ if you've tried it.
