This is a cool demo, but why would someone want to have all these long running events on the screen at all times? It makes the UI cluttered and less clear what the next thing is you need to be doing. For example, do I really need the fact that I'm on vacation to be taking space at the side of the screen at all times? I'm not going to forget. This kind of design makes it easier for me to miss things I need to remember to do, perhaps defeating the point of using a calendar app

#23Hi 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…
As long as I can download it direct and not be tied to the playstore I'd love to try it out. I'm currently using the free version of acalendar atm.

I like it, because I have things like "parents in town", "partner in Canada" or "no soda challenge" that are relevant to any specific decision I make for a few weeks. Do I really want to see that movie with friends while my parents are here, or should I keep that evening free? If he's out of town then I won't plan a date night then.

#25Very nice. I was meaning to implement something like this in JS (this summer hopefuly if I dont get busy) as a fun project for my website but something much smaller. Got any ideas?

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.

This is awesome, I have multiple "linear calendar" mockups on my laptop right now that I never actually started up.

#29There'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.

I do mark events like vacation, etc so that I see them coming up and for planning. That keeps me from putting events in the middle of my multi-week vacation.
