I had a quick look at your code and this looks like a nice idea. I have
a couple comments.

It would be great to be able to configure some of the hard-coded dates
and time, such as:
- later today: number of hours (currently 3)
- start of evening: currently 18:00
- start of day: currently 08:00
- start of weekend: currently Saturday (you could use
  `org-agenda-weekend-days' as you are doing for the `orgbox-weekend-p'
  predicate)
- start of week: currently Monday, at 08:00
- someday: currently in 3 months

I don't know how difficult it would be to make these user configurable.
In any case, I find this is a very useful addition to scheduling in org
mode.

Thanks,

Alan
