csv-to-calendar's Issues

Take better care of OAuth token

Currently the token is stored at ~/.credentials/calendar-python-quickstart.json.

The token has write access so it will be better to store it where the user is aware of the sensitive file.

I really like this but

Have you considered rewriting in rust
