            "content_html": "\n<p>One of the all-time favorites on my homescreen is <a href=\"http://www.dueapp.com/\">Due</a>, a reminder app for iOS and Mac. In fact, I wrote a <a href=\"//eay.cc/2011/to-do-or-not-to-do-oder-ein-loblied-auf-due/\">review of it back in 2011</a> and recommended it to everyone who&#8217;s looking for a simple, but efficient todo and reminder app. A few days ago Lin Junjie, the developer of Due, released the long-awaited 2.0 of my everyday companion with a new look and feel. I really like it and I&#8217;m pretty sure that I&#8217;ll keep on using Due for the next couple of years. But there&#8217;s one problem: <strong>My wife doesn&#8217;t use Due.</strong></p>\n<p>She&#8217;s a fan of Apple&#8217;s own Reminders app and that&#8217;s fine. Thanks to iOS&#8216; family sharing I can add tasks and reminders to a shared list and she receives them on her phone. The other way around doesn&#8217;t work so smoothly: I don&#8217;t like the official app at all and buried it in an abandoned folder on my last screen. Sure, she could install Due on her iPhone or Mac, too, but so I could use the Reminders app. Obviously, there must be a better way to deal with our task management. A way in which I could have some fun with a few exciting JavaScript libraries&#8230;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://stefangrund.de/projekte/due/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://eay.cc/uploads/2015/due-reminder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"photo\" /></a></p>\n<p>This resulted in <a href=\"http://stefangrund.de/projekte/due/\">this little web interface</a>. It&#8217;s a simple way to create and share reminders for Due from the web. For this purpose, it will generate a custom URL, which could then be shared with someone else via Mail, WhatsApp and Threema (or Copy &#038; Paste). When the recipient opens the URL, it takes him to Due, where it composes a new reminder with the chosen title and due date.</p>\n<p>The web interface is based on Due&#8217;s UI and mimics it when creating reminders. Even natural date and time parsing is working just like in the app. Because the browser support of JavaScript&#8217;s own Date object is a mess, I&#8217;ve implemented the date calculations with Adam Shaw&#8217;s <a href=\"http://arshaw.com/xdate/\">XDate</a>. The natural date and time parsing is realized with Wanasit Tanakitrungruang&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/wanasit/chrono\">Chrono</a>. Right now date and time formats like <code>February 16</code>, <code>Feb 16</code> or <code>2015-02-16</code> and <code>13 pm</code> or <code>13:37</code> are supported.</p>\n<p>This was a fun little finger exercise for me, but my wife is actually using it. So, mission accomplished! If you&#8217;re curious about the code, <a href=\"http://codepen.io/eay/pen/ByRjyv\">check it out on CodePen</a>.</p>\n<p>And if your loved ones use Due and you do not, please reconsider your life choices and <a href=\"https://eay.li/due\">get Due</a>. Or <a href=\"http://stefangrund.de/projekte/due/\">give my little tool a try</a>. \ud83d\ude09</p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://eay.cc/wordpress/count.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Feay.cc%2F2015%2Fcreate-reminders-for-due-without-due%2F\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\" />",
