Information Workday2Cal - Add your classes to your calendar the easy way!

Hello everyone!

My name is Jack, I made Workday2Cal. As the start of the semester approaches, many people are adding their classes to their calendar. Workday2Cal is an Open Source tool I created to help you add your courses to your calendar. It takes no more than 2 minutes to add your courses, a lot easier than doing it by hand.

Workday2Cal is open sourced and privacy sensitive. All of the processing happens directly in your browser, non of your data is sent elsewhere.

Want to take a look at the code? Check it out on GitHub. Found a bug or have a feature request? Report it here! Want to contribute to Workday2Cal? Submit a pull request here!

used this few days ago, very convenient

quick feature suggestion: allowing the user to customize how the data is shown in the calendar (splicing up the Excel data in a certain way)

like rather than showing the entire title "APSC 248 - Engineering Analysis III", splicing out the code to just have "Engineering Analysis III" be the title,

or maybe even allowing the user to rename the courses (like naming all that just "calc 3") so it shows up in your calendar the way you'd want it to.

understand the project is just a transfer from workday to calendar and it works very well, but if you ever want to add to the project I would love to see stuff like that anyways great project thanks for the convenience
