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.

#59Those perspective items don't really provide perspective. I don't hate them, but a Jupiter day means nothing to me. The "average workday" is good and meaningful. Some thoughts on good "perspective" items: * Average runtime of a film * Average commuting time (US, presumably) * 15-minute standup

#60It 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/ )
