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…

Peter: you could add it as an offline Apache Cordova app as well, although you would have to be on the lookout for:

- Synching between apps (a fairly straightforward process, but still has to be done, given enough interest on the app [which it looks like you might have])

- System Webviews != Chrome or Safari (depending on iOS/Android version).

I would be happy to hunt this on ProductHunt as well, hit me up on twitter http://twitter.com/joantune if you want to schedule a date or simply reply here and I'll post it there.

Cheers, and good job, it looks good

Awesome UI! Does it support CalDAV?

+1 for CalDav support, currently it looks like it only works with Google Calendar.

I've moved away from Google Calendar to self-hosted CalDAV, but there's a frustrating lack of good Calendar apps that support it. I'd like to give this a try!

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

The downside is I can't actually scroll in the page at all on my Firefox, works ok on Chrome though

I like the idea but semantically, this is confusing. If I want to scroll, it zooms in/out. Even that, it doesn't keep the focus making me wanting to really scroll. Now I'm really confused how to scroll. (I know how but I'm giving you the cognitive load that's necessary here). What would be cool is to use zoom gestures to ....zoom . That is completely intuitive. Aside from that, vertical bars take too much screen space without adding much information. Perhaps they could be translucent or some such.
