Earlier quoted context omitted.

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'd love to know as well, in particular your stance with regard to the UI concept itself — which is a very interesting take on a common problem.

Is it your intention to proselytise this particular UI concept (i.e., “Everyone should use this type of calender view! It makes calendering better for everyone. Get inspired and go implement it in your own software!”) or to test the waters for a commercial product?

Looks 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

You could hijack the scroll only when the mouse is over the phone's screen not the entire page. Very interesting UI!

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…

I absolutely NEED this as a widget on my Android phone screen! Congrats to amazing job Peter:)

My biggest gripe with Google Calendar is the lack of consolidation of duplicate events. Often I have about 3-4 copies of various events and a storm of 10+ notifications for every appointment. If you can solve this problem, it would be a killer app for me.

FYI there is a chrome extension which solves this!

That's already what happens for me. I can scroll the page just fine if my cursor is off the demo device.

I synced it to my Google Calendar, but it imported all the events of my coworkers calendars that I subscribe to.

It should have a way to remove it from view or not even import them at all.
