I wonder how the Americans feel that the weeks begin on Monday :) I wanted to figure out where the developer is from (presumably Europe because of the use of A4/A5), the terms of services is just a template, e.g. (not being judgemental, I found it amusing): > Contact Us: If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please contact us at [insert company email address]. Edit: less amusing is the "down…

Regarding start of the week, will do that, I think browsers added support for checking that recently. Sorry folks, 99% of the world uses Monday ;)

I think it’s more like 70 percent, given that apparently India starts the week with Sunday as well: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week

Sorry to hijack this, I thought it can do the following when I see this thread but apparently not: is there a good option to generate calendar from, say, iCal? I want to be able to generate a PDF from calendar events and I fail to find a good solution that can reliably automatically typeset it. I look for some from LaTeX but it seems to not be the right tool for these tasks.

(When I say automatic typesetting, it includes eg when some events are too long and need to wrap.)

thanks for feedback everyone!

changes i'm gonna make: 1. allow to configure & print calendars directly from the website - here I anticipate I'll spot some cross browser hell but we'll see how that works 2. i'll add habit trackers - something very much wip is visible under https://useminimal.com/habit-trackers 3. i'll think about weekly calendars and planners

once I have more themes I'll add a paywall with one time payment to access everything with no time limit ie. every year you'd be able to generate new calendars etc. the 'simple' theme will be always free, maybe more

A neat idea. I wish there was a way to select a different year (by appending it to the url, for instance).

https://neatnik.net/calendar/?year=2024 https://neatnik.net/calendar/?year=2025 From the README [0]: """ By default, the current year is used. You can override the year by supplying a year parameter, e.g. /calendar.php?year=2027. """ [0] https://github.com/neatnik/calendar

Thanks!

Bug: https://neatnik.net/calendar/?year=1752 :)

What's the issue? I can print out all the years in one go now.

Wikipedia says: "In the British Empire, it was the only year with 355 days, as September 3–13 were skipped when the Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar."

Like a lot of calendars, this has a big focus on months yet the only monthly schedules I have are passive and operate in the background: salary in, bills out. When it comes to organising my life the cycle of week to week planning is by far the most important one. Where we are in that cycle at any given moment in time — what day of the week it is — is much more important than knowing the current month. Shopping for fo…

One size does not fit all. For planning and reflecting on life events, weekly is immensely useful over monthly.

My goto calendar is a letter size page (landscape oriented) with 5 columns.

One column for each week. One page per month. Dates/SMTWTFS go on top row.

Each column (week) gets agenda style entries. pseudo ordered. with just the date and events.

My usecase is primarily logging life events after the fact for reflection and self improvement than planning the future.

This format scales well, needs just pen and paper (no printer, i just draw the lines and put the start of the week day/date per column).

Low pressure, a year is captured in 12 pages. I reviewa very rarely but its there when I need and I can eyeball my way down the calendar without any search capabilities.

I split the page into top half for personal and bottom half for work.

It just works.
