Question 1

How does the meeting notes maker work?

Accepted Answer

Enter the meeting title, date, start/end time, location, facilitator, and attendees (one per line). For agenda recap use `topic,discussion_summary` per line. List decisions (one per line) and action items as `task,owner,due_date` per line. Add parking-lot items (one per line) and an optional next-meeting date. The tool calculates meeting duration, groups action items by owner, sorts them by due date (earliest first), flags overdue items, and exports as text, printable HTML, or Markdown.

Question 2

What format are action items in?

Accepted Answer

One per line, comma-separated: `task,owner,due_date`. Example: `Draft proposal,Alice,2026-07-25`. The due_date must be YYYY-MM-DD. The parser strips quotes, handles commas inside quoted values, and skips blank lines. Lines with missing fields are reported as errors. Action items without a due date still appear, sorted after dated items.

Question 3

How are action items grouped and sorted?

Accepted Answer

Action items are grouped by owner (alphabetical) so each owner sees their tasks together, and within the master list they are sorted by due date (earliest first) so the most urgent items bubble to the top. Items without a due date appear at the end. Overdue items (due before today) are flagged with an OVERDUE marker.
