Okay 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?

Hi, the default is 90 for now to keep the table bit shorter. What do you mean by 'actual numbers'? There is no pulling data in this webapp.

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?

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.

Sure - what email or other non-public place can I send that to? If you'd rather not post contact info here, you can contact me at my hn handle @gmail.com

What I mean is that my actual birthday falls in October, but the weeks display is displaying the week where I turn X as having happened a few weeks ago. I'm being a bit vague because I'd rather not publicly post my exact birthday and age, but I believe you can recreate the same issue using the input posted by iamben above - saying you are born on 1970, shows the week where you turned 50 as having happened many weeks in the past, when it should obviously be this week (or +/- 1 week at most due to dates being complicated)

Actual numbers as in my actual age! I was definitely creeped out.

Really cool visualizer

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?

I've just fixed it, it's closer but still not super accurate as there are leap years and a year has about 52.143 weeks. I'll look more into that later :)

When I see this I treat the first decade as pointless to think about because it's childhood. 10-20 I had to finish school, went to college. 20-25 was very sub-optimal for me, but 25-35 has been quite good.

Same here :) around 23 I came to the realization that I'm truly free to live my life as I please. Now 25, I imagine myself as two years old, seeing the world for the first time. It's truly a wonderful feeling.

Thanks a lot for explaining! I've just fixed it, it's closer but still not super accurate as there are leap years and a year has about 52.143 weeks. I'll look more into that later :)

Awesome, thanks! It looks a lot better for my data :)

I had the same surprised reaction. Late 30s is a cruel age range to do that to, too; we’re freaking out!
