Like a lot of calendars, this has a big focus on months yet the only monthly schedules I have are passive and operate in the background: salary in, bills out. When it comes to organising my life the cycle of week to week planning is by far the most important one. Where we are in that cycle at any given moment in time — what day of the week it is — is much more important than knowing the current month. Shopping for fo…

I was looking for the same as this. I wanted a yearly overview where the emphasis was on weeks so I could plan vacations and the school year. I ended up creating a pet project to do exactly this that may be of use to you. I’m interested in your thoughts? https://calii.tiimo.app/

do you have any sketch of how this could look like? I'd be happy to build it! and thank you, it's still very early version though

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When I click download, only a payment window pops up and there is no option to download. Otherwise, your calendars look pretty clean!

You can enter a price of zero. But even after I figured that out I didn't want to enter my email. The "Download for free" button is deceptive and left a bad taste. I'm not going to give my email to someone engaging in deception.

I'm sorry you feel that way. It was just easy to put that thing on Lemon Squeezy to see if there are people willing to pay for this. If you don't want to put your real email use something like this - https://temp-mail.org/. many people do, it's ok.

good point. i'm not sure if I ever gonna try to monetize this but it should be fairly easy to add it, will do

don't know if you care, but the US do rotate the columns for their weekdays...

do you mean that week starts with Sun?

I'm 100% sure I saw a calendar that was 7 columns as days, 52 rows as weeks, every day was just a number, no borders or anything, months were separated with a line and every first day of month was with a shade/gradient. It was only on the left third/quarter of a vertical paper so the right part was left for notes.

I wonder how the Americans feel that the weeks begin on Monday :)

I wanted to figure out where the developer is from (presumably Europe because of the use of A4/A5), the terms of services is just a template, e.g. (not being judgemental, I found it amusing):

> Contact Us: If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please contact us at [insert company email address].

Edit: less amusing is the "download for free" button opening a credit card input field. I can enter 0.00 as payment, but it still wants my email address. Maybe I can enter "[Insert buyer e-mail address here]"? The Etsy store's owner's name sounds Polish.
