Definitely fun to look at, but does it calculate correctly (or am I not quite understanding it?)?! If I put in my DOB as 1970-09-27 I the 50 square should be today, right? Except I'm actually 10 weeks past the 50 square?

Hi, it takes the first event's date as the first box, then renders weeks (boxes) after that.

#13Nice, here is another more detailed version I made a few years back off the back of a rather excellent wait but why article :) https://labs.coruscantconsulting.co.uk/life/weeks/
What I find funny on that chart is that retirement is default at 62. I don't think that will be the average when I want to retire in 30 years.

#14I made a similar data-vizualization inspired by Tim Urban's Life Calendar:

I have the same problem - my birthday is a couple of weeks in the future, but gets rendered in the past. I edited the options so that the only event was my actual day of birth.
Is it just calling all years exactly 52 weeks long?

Awesome! One request: can you give the option to toggle the life phases on the left? I.e. not everybody goes to uni. In Australia we also go straight from high-school to uni rather than college but there is no option to remove college. Great little visualiser though!

You can set college to zero years, and it’ll skip that phase.

#18Okay the default was way to close to my actual numbers and I sincerely wondered if it was pulling logged-in data from some site.
Also, the default table only goes up to 90?

#19No way to save? Forgets when I reload. Nice idea though, have pondered maintaining something like this for a while. Edit: never mind, I see localStorage on the todo list.
it can save data to localStorage now :)

I'm not sure what that means ("my birthday is a couple of weeks in the future"). If you could take a screenshot and paste just the sample data, that'll be great! Thanks.
