Under the Gregorian calendar, century years not divisible by 400 would not be leap years. An adjustment was also made to the algorithm of the Julian calendar that changed which century years would be considered leap years. Pope Gregory XIII addressed this by essentially skipping 10 days in the date, making the day after October 4, 1582, October 15. By 1582, this resulted in a difference of 10 days from what was expected. He also added the intercalation of a leap day every fourth year, all in an attempt to further synchronize the Roman calendar with the solar year.ĭespite all efforts, the Julian calendar still required further reform, since the calendar drifted with respect to the equinoxes and solstices by approximately 11 minutes per year. In order to accomplish this, Caesar inserted an additional 10 days into the Republican calendar, making the total number of days in a year 365. In 46 BC, the calendar was further reformed by Julius Caesar, introducing an algorithm that removed the dependence of calendars from the observation of the new moon. From this point, many attempts were made to align the Republican calendar with the solar year including the addition of an extra month to certain years to supplant the lack of days in a particular year.
The Republican calendar later used by Rome followed Greek calendars in its assumptions of 29.5 days in a lunar cycle, and 12.5 synodic months in a solar year, which align every fourth year upon the addition of the intercalary months of January and February. This calendar allowed the summer and winter months to become completely misplaced, leading to the adoption of more accurate calendars. The Romans were then believed to have adopted a 10-month calendar with 304 days, leaving the remaining 50 or so days as an unorganized winter. The ancient Roman calendar was believed to be an observational lunar calendar, based on the cycles of the moon's phases. The Gregorian calendar is a reformed version of the Julian calendar, which was itself a modification of the ancient Roman calendar. The months of April, June, September, and November have 30 days, while the rest have 31 days except for February, which has 28 days in a standard year, and 29 in a leap year. Within this calendar, a standard year consists of 365 days with a leap day being introduced to the month of February during a leap year. It’s a nice URL scheme.The Gregorian calendar is the most prevalently used calendar today. Open Drafts, type “2 usd in eur”, and boom – Soulver opens, displaying the result. I’m already using this action all the time to launch quick currency conversions in Soulver. I have already set up a Drafts URL action that lets me quickly type a calculation in Drafts – which is my go-to text capturing tool – and append it as a new line to a specific Soulver document I have called “Calculations”.

Update 9/1: The guys at Acqualia have posted a URL scheme documentation here. Soulver for iPhone is $2.99 on the App Store. I’m looking forward to playing with Soulver’s URL scheme and updated preferences (not so much with iCloud sync).
The app does support a soulver:// URL scheme, and hopefully more information will soon be posted on Acqualia’s website.

I am already thinking about the possibilities opened up by this feature for integration with apps like Launch Center Pro and Drafts – but I can’t find documentation anywhere. According to the release notes on iTunes, there’s now a URL scheme to launch Soulver, create a new document with text, or even to append text to an existing document. The URL scheme is much more interesting for my workflow. If you trust iCloud with your Soulver documents, I guess that this will be a handy addition.

iCloud syncing was first brought to Soulver for Mac in December 2012, and now the iPhone app (Soulver for iPad hasn’t been updated yet) should be capable of syncing named documents with its Mac counterpart. Soulver, my favorite iOS calculator app that isn’t really a calculator (I like another app for that), was updated today on the iPhone to support iCloud syncing, sub-folders, and a URL scheme.
