Hi 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…

This is awesome! I find Fantastical's presentation to be very poor (though love their input), Sunrise is now on the way out... The UX you came up with is amazing!

I'd pay as much as I paid for Fantastical for your native iOS app with CalDAV support, right now. Even more, to make sure you keep developing it.

If you're certain it has to stay free, please consider open sourcing it. Shopping for critical Apps every three years 'cause authors got bored of it is painful.

Beautiful UI, very intuitive! One issue I ran into (on a MacBook Pro, OSX El Cap) was that scrolling wouldn't work on my (external) trackpad. It interpreted 2-finger scroll as pinch (down) and zoom (up). Had to use trackball to scroll.

Hi, glad you liked it!! On the trackpad scrolling and zooming is done as on google maps. That is a two finger scroll does zooming and a single finger pressed and dragged does scrolling.

Hope that helps.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, all of those don't really matter. You just fire up whatever and start building the damn thing.

well in this case I think it does.. Animating this many DOM elements in a performant way would be really hard. Looks like the webapp is rendered in a element. I think its a better discussion than 'which js framework should I use?'

Thanks for your interest. Performance has been har to get good enough. Basically it is a javascript app on a canvas. Thats why it can be integrated on the landing page.

Can it be self hosted by users? Is it open source?

Haven't thought of that, but maybe self hosting could be done. I intend to make the app free, but it isn't open source.

Why free if not open source? Because the latter would be a prime requirement for me; the former is not.

I like the zoomable/scrollable view that's a UI improvement. The add event form could do with some UI tweaks. I'm not the biggest slider fan, but that might be a better control for the reminders (with sticky graduations) (instead of a dropdown) and reduce the length of the form.

Some autocompleteness on the 'Where's could be good. Can you make time input easier?

Shifting between calendars needs to be very easy. I used to use Gcal, and I was forever putting events in the wrong calendar.

This looks awesome! Would you consider Google maps style mobile zoom too? In particular their one finger zoom is really great on mobile.

Two typographic things on the recurrence settings: frequence should read frequency, "week days" is a bit confusing, I'd probably change it to "on these days"
