Add dates

[edshamis]

Hi @jupblb! Thanks for this tool!
Is it planned to add dates sync in any format?

My pleasure! :D I'm sorry that you had to wait 3 weeks for a response, my daughter was born a day after this issue was created.

I did not consider supporting dates (or links for that matter) because I don't have a good idea how to compose it with the Markdown document structure. There are three different dates associated with each Task according to the documentation: updated, due and completed. So it's not right to have just one of these written next to a Task title. Therefore, we would need to somehow embed it in Task's note but this feels a bit messy as it requires creating a less obvious convention. The best thing that comes to my mind is having some metadata table.

I'm not convinced at this moment that this is a feature worth supporting but would like to leave this issue open. If there is a good idea on how this should work I'm open to having it implemented.

@jupblb Congratulations for your daughter birth 💐☺️
Maybe you can add support just for due date since it's the only one visible in Tasks app and the most important one from my point of view?
Maybe this format on the next line after the title:
date:: 230319

This seems a bit too arbitrary for me. Let's say tomorrow I get a request to add support for completed date because someone wants to see when exactly a certain task was done (so that they don't repeat themselfes on standup or something). Whatever a solution to such a problem would be, it needs to be different than having the value simply next to a title, after the due date. This is a reason why I believe we must have a more generic approach towards presenting dates that may also include even more metadata fields.
