Nice look. Just wondering, as I zoom out some events disappear from view. Is this by design? (macOS El Cap/Safari 10.0.2) e.g. Hockey with kids disappears when it gets to multi-week scale.

Hi, well yes that is but design. It may take some getting use to. When zooming out of only shows the most important appointment and a small number telling you that there is more to see by zooming in. Hope that works for you :)

Any way you could preserve the fact that other meetings exist at that level (maybe like Calendar on macOS does it - with dots representing events)?

How do you determine which one is more important?

This is an awesome way to interface with your calendar. But for me (on Safari 10 on a 2015 MacBook Pro), zooming (via scroll) was too slow (like, 1. do 2 finger scroll on trackpad; 2. wait 3 seconds for it to finish the animation 3. scroll in more because it didn't go far enough). Maybe I'm too caffeinated or maybe there's some Safari/Mac related thing making it slow, but I would need much faster zoom-in/zoom-out for this to be usable.

But otherwise, super innovative!

I'd also like to see that other things exist at that level. I didn't notice the numbers at all.

Clever and original, and the Android app is very nicely implemented. Congrats.

I don't know if I'll use it. First impressions are that I prefer fixed day/week/month formats as my eyes and fingers know what to do with them without seeking. But it's intriguingly new enough for me to want to try it out for a while.
