There's something existentially terrifying about being able to quickly zoom out from out from a view of 5 minute intervals to one of several decades.
This could be a nice UI to show a facebook timeline for example.

What device do you use that doesn't allow you to enable js?

#93Hi all. Just wanted to show you my latest side project (been working on it for a couple of years now). It's a calendar app with a twist. It's developed as a web app, thats wy it could be integrated directly on the landing page. It can also be run on any device directly from http://app.oneviewcalendar.com Instead of the traditional monthview and day view I have used a timeline that is zoomable and scrollable. Give it…
Nicely done. One comment: It took me a while to realize the numbers on the top right triangles are week numbers in the year. Typically I am not concerned with that, not sure if there are general use cases for the week number.
Me neither anymore, but I was concerned with week's "parity" in school. I.e. whether the week was even or odd.
Re: Show HN: New calendar app idea
#94Looks pretty nice. Some criticisms: * I dislike how the website hijacks scrolling, the phone doesn't fit on a Macbook 13" screen so I tried to scroll down, but that just scrolled in the app * When scrolling out to a view where I see many months at once it can only show a few events, in the demo it only shows Gym, and when I zoom in a bit more it also shows Hockey with kids. I feel these recurring events should have t…
Hi, thanks for the feedback.
Sorry for hijacking the scroll, but it just had to be done :) Your second point on recurring events is good, I will look at that. Even more so the last point, that one is really important, but I haven't found a good way to solve it yet.
Thanks /Peter
Re: Show HN: New calendar app idea
#95Thanks for making this app. I had a similar idea too, but never executed it. Of course, the idea was based on a certain need. Often, I would have unscheduled events such as "talk to Santosh sometime next week" or "go on a short bike trip with Francesca next month". Basically events that have not been assigned a defined date and time. These are the events that I would like to see in the week view or month view (when I zoom out) so that I know that I need to find a specific time for it. The other events (which have a set date and time) receive lower priority in the zoomed out views. Have you thought of implementing something similar? Would be nice.

How do I add an event for next year januari? I can't seem to scroll down to that date. But OK, you can add a new event, drag it to today, then change the date? Apparently not. If I add a new event, I want to be able to change the date in the event details.
Furthermore, scrolling in the details doesn't work properly. (Firefox on OSX) Really nice app for the phone!

Week numbers are used a lot in my experience. Features are often promised by week X. Events, work schedules and even vacations are also often referenced by week.
It could vary by country as well, when I grew up and went to school it was used a whole lot. I don't remember the last time I saw it though, and since moving abroad I definitely haven't seen it.

Are you sure you didn't get heavily inspired by Moleskine's Timepage?
I like Moleskine's design and I have noticed the similarity. But their app is escentially different and if it matters the answer to your question is no :)

Wait, are you Peter Molyneux the game designer of Fable fame, or do you just happen to have the same name?
Considering it says "By Peter Molyneux, Sweden", I'd say he just has the same name. Peter Molyneux the game designer, is from the UK.
It's a different guy, I think that this is him: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petermolyneux

These are two levels of zoom pictured, that's the idea basically - you can zoom and scroll on the "timeline".
