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.

Interesting. Do you repaint the entire canvas on every update?

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…

Really cool! makes me want to use a calendar app and plan my life! :D

Beautifully done. I have had this exact idea for years as well and you basically took the dream app I was going to build "Some Day" and seem to have nailed the execution. Bittersweet feeling for me. ;-) Hope this becomes hugely successful!

Oh, Sorry friend I know that feeling. We should of teamed up ;)

"Should of?"

What?

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

I only now went back and used the scroll bar to find the text under the phone. Could you hijack the scroll wheel only when the mouse is over the phone?

When you add an event you scroll down, down, down. The final step is OK/Cancel and they are at the top of the page, centered. I can't reach those buttons with my thumb and have to use my other hand. They should be down at the bottom where the flow of the action ends, left and right justified.

Edit. I think it could also benefit from a 'snap to now' button somewhere. I don't have time to use your fancy GUI for literally seconds of my life to see what's going on this morning.

Just my 2c. Really nice app. (tu) I hope this doesn't come across as negative, I just want to help.

Really neat idea. I'm sad that the site requires JavaScript, but I don't know how this would work otherwise.

Glad you like the idea. Yes, it would of been hard to build without javascript. But if you use android you can get the app :)

"Would of?"

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.

Week numbers are important in scrum and release plannings, and in university (someone mentioned "parity" - some courses happen in odd weeks, others in even weeks). Keep them, I miss them :D
