## calculations
# all of the calculations are done using unix timestamps from date(1)

# mac uses bsd's date(1)
# whenever we set a date, make sure to add -j so it doesn't change the clock

# we use `date -j %m%d0000 +%s` to get the start timestamp, %Y is implied
# then we use `date -jr $start -v +1y/+1m/+1d +%s` to get the ending timestamp
# then we calculate the percentage with (now - start) / (end - start)

now=$(date +%s)

Y=$(date +%Y)
Y_start=$(date -j 01010000 +%s)
Y_end=$(date -jr $Y_start -v +1y +%s)
Y_progress=$(
    echo "($now - $Y_start) * 100 / ($Y_end - $Y_start)" | bc -l
)

m=$(date +%m)

m_end=$(date -jr $m_start -v +1m +%s)
m_progress=$(
    echo "($now - $m_start) * 100 / ($m_end - $m_start)" | bc -l
)

# If time right now is working_start is less than the starting time but
# midnight, set to "SLP" without %

d=$(date +%d)
d_start=$(date -j $working_start +%s) # starttime of today

# set the end time
d_today=$(date -j $(date +%m%d)0000 +%s)
if [ $working_end -eq 0000 ]
then
    d_end=$(date -jr $d_today -v +1d +%s) # beginning of next day

## output prep
# padding to align progress bar and text
# Y-m-d = 10 + 2 spaces + 2 digits + percent sign = 15
# progress bar width - 15 = padding

Check this re: the vertical alignment issue matryer/xbar#513

I've modded this so font fits better with macOS, fades with the rest of the menu bar, and added a small P: to indicate what it is instead of the full ISO8601 date.

The actual bars don't show up in the right colour anymore, but that's OK because I'd rather have it fade properly; I don't look into the detailed progress as much as I care about the daily progress show up properly.

TO-DO:

• I'd prefer to have the percent as a percent of my actual working hours rather than the entire day.

Updated to let me pick my day starts and ends :)
