Cancel Past DatesI don’t know if I will be ready or heard, but wanted to try improve the app slightly. For dates that have passed or smt maybe a darker hint over them to indicate that the date is over would be nice. Just started using and it has been a blast! Hopefully the next update it can be seen.
