You can go futher. Just type cal in your terminal: ~ % cal March 2022 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

Indeed. This is what I used to use before I gave in and built this. What I was missing most of all, was marks. Be able to pull up a calendar when sharing my screen with my team to collaborate on dates while marking them for some bearings. Sure, I could double-click on a date in `cal`'s output, which was what I used to do, but I can mark only a single date with that.

I tried to enter several date format variations in the "Go to date" prompt() pop up. None worked.

Whenever I see something about calendar I'm usually tempted to do the LOTR Calendar trick;

Go to your Terminal and type

$ calendar -f /usr/share/calendar/calendar.lotr -A 365

"Got to date" doesn't work on Firefox 98.0.2.

Console shows the error:

Uncaught TypeError: app is undefined

    promptGoToDate https://calendar.sharats.me/app.js:303

Hey, thanks for reporting. Yeah, looks like the event handler is broken. Fix coming up.

The date here is currently 3/30/2022 (12:56 AM), but the calendar tells me it's the 29th of March (I assume that's what the red box around the day means).

Hey, thanks for reporting this. Looks like I was using UTC time for the today-highlight (surprised I haven't noticed this all this while). Should be fixed now.

I'm seeing Mar 29 highlighted as today and it's currently almost 7 AM EDT on Mar 30 here.

Did you switch from UTC to AoE?

"Today" should be determined by the client's settings, ideally with a configurable tz database timezone to override as well.
