Point-in-time entries

[tecunningham]

It might be nice for the KLOG-format to allow entries just at a single point in time, with no duration, e.g.:

2018-03-24
First day at my new job
    8:30 - 17:00
    12:00 #workout 

You can already have zero-duration entries, like 12:00-12:00, but this format might be a bit more natural. Some use-cases:

• Keeping track of doing exercise, when duration doesn't really matter
• Keeping track of meals
• Keeping track of commits

I keep track of single events with

    0m <activity>

Interesting use-case, I haven’t thought of this at all yet.

At the moment I’d also suggest using a workaround like @vladdeSV suggests, e.g.

2000-01-01
    0m Something
    12:00-12:00 Something

Maybe that is sufficient already? Otherwise I’d be generally open for extending the spec, should this be a common thing that people want to do. The tricky thing is probably to come up with a nice and robust syntax for it. (Nice syntax would mean something that uses symbolic characters, not keywords, and that is still sufficiently intuitive to understand.)

Happy to leave this ticket open, so we can collect ideas or discuss further.

A comment syntax could be used for this (allowing arbitrary remarks that are ignored by the program), #54
