Can someone clarify?
It’s tongue in cheek - the original site had squares not the advertised “rectangles” - even though a square is a type of rectangle most people consider rectangles to be the non-squares.
We haven't bothered to correct the teacher, but used it as a lesson to say that even intelligent people aren't always correct about everything.
(She also had a preschool teacher that told her that blood is blue before it gets oxygen. This lesson is one that will be repeated throughout her life.)
It is a good idea, but the layout hurts my eyes due to the Hermann grid illusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion
It wasn't intentional! I experimented with different colors, but seems like all of them produce this illusion :/ I'll see what I can do.
Two ideas: 1. How about just 48 Pomodoro-sized rectangles? 2. For those of us with a shifted sleep rhythm it would be nice to be able to set the start-of-day time.
I feel like tools like this are extremely valuable to those with time blindness from ADHD, Autism, etc...

Try hexagons, they’re equidistant between centers.

My 5-year-old knows that squares are a type of rectangle. Her kindergarten teacher corrected her when she said this during a shapes lesson and told her that rectangles always have two sides longer than the other.

And an important part of life is learning when to pick your battles.
It would be fun to see this with local daylight hours mapped to the squares, so I could get a feel for where my consumption is at within "daylight" vs the whole "day" SunCalc is a good tool for this, if you're interested: https://github.com/mourner/suncalc (I've used it on a personal project, and the API was a little awkward but the results are good: https://daylight.website/ )
