Export time tracking to calendar events

[tmcnulty387]

Hi, would it be possible to be able to export previously tracked time to google calendar events?

Problem

It's hard to reflect on how I spent my time during the day if I can only see the total amount of time spent towards a task instead of the time blocks the timer was active for. If previously tracked time could be represented as time blocks, I could see how for example how long my breaks were and what times of the day I was the least productive.

Possible Solution

Previously tracked tasks could store data that would contain start times and end times of tracking events (timestamps), these would be later used to convert tracked time into calendar blocks.

When the user clicks on a button labeled "export to calendar", possibly located on the page shown when completing a day, it would generate a file containing all the previously tracked events during that day using the stored start times and end times of tasks, each event would have the same name as the task name.

This file would be either in CSV or iCal format so that it can be imported into applications like google calendar. It would also be ideal for there to be an option in settings to enable automatic export, where on day completion it will automatically export the calendar file to a user defined directory.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered using other applications like Clockify to track time, but they're very bloated because their main intention is to create billable rates for work. It also is annoying to use another application on top of superProductivity for time tracking as I need to start and stop timers for both superProductivity and the other application. If superProductivity could directly create time blocks instead of only tracking total time spent, it would be very helpful.

Additional

If this feature can't be implemented, I would appreciate an explanation for why it wouldn't be currently feasible, as I may try implementing it myself but I am unfamiliar with the code base. Thank you for your time.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!
