I'd love to be able generate dates dynamically using the {{{n}}} org macro,
or some other mechanism. I don't immediately see how that would be
possible but maybe someone can guide me. I'd want to do something
equivalent to this pseudo-elisp:
(let ((base-date 2017-09-05))
(+ base-date (* 7 {{{n}}}))
I haven't looked into how date objects are parsed in org-mode, though, so I
have no idea how hard it would be to actually implement something like
this.
Thank you everyone!

Apologies to the list for practically spamming this recently, but it
seems directly relevant:
https://github.com/abo-abo/tiny
It has built-in support for Org dates with its %(date) function.
Apparently it can be used like this:
m\n8|**** TODO Learning from Data Week %(+ x 2) \nSCHEDULED: <%(date "Oct 7" (* x 7))> DEADLINE: <%(date "Oct 14" (* x 7))>
Which results in:
**** TODO Learning from Data Week 2
SCHEDULED: <2013-10-07 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-14 Mon>
**** TODO Learning from Data Week 3
SCHEDULED: <2013-10-14 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-21 Mon>
[...]

+1 for tiny :)
When I discovered it, I went a bit overboard and wrote a helper fn
(modi/tiny-helper in here[1]) so that I don't have to remember the tiny
syntax. I still use tiny from time to time.

That's very cool. Do you think Oleh would add it to Tiny?

Good question. I'll open an issue on that repo. When I wrote this, I wasn't
too good with git, creating branches or submitting PR's.
