From a developer standpoint, I loathe our calendar/time system. The world has wasted shit load of time & money trying to fix stupid bugs with our time systems, I would welcome a more linear system.

Can I just say?
Sunday and Saturday are the weekend because they are on each end of the week. If you stack them both up at the back, only Sunday would get to be the weekend. Saturday would just be the day before the end.
A line has got two ends.
Also I've seen this concept before many times, it certainly isn't a unique one.
This little bit of snark gave me a laugh: "The red stripe highlights the weekend. For the United States, where week starts on Sunday (but it is anyway considered a part of weekend), alternative frames can be produced." Can I just say?

How do I know how to set the current month, and how do I know how to advance to the next month? It feels like I'm missing something.
On the first of every month you drag it so that the number 1 lines up with the current day of the week

A counterpoint of equal snark and uselessness: No, it has one "start" and one "end", especially if it's a one-way line.
If we had 13 months, all of them would have exactly 28 days. We would need and extra day in order to complete 365 days, but we could make it a special case (the first day of the year, for instance) not belonging to any month or week. Then all months would be alike, every 1st, 8th, 15th, etc, would be a Sunday, and so on. We would never need a calendar again.
If you read the Lord of the Rings appendices, you will find that Shirefolk do something similar: they divide the year into 12 months of 30 days each, with a four-day midsummer holiday called Lithe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-earth_calendar#Hobbit_C... If we were to adopt a similar scheme outside of Middle Earth, I'd be in favor of borrowing the name.

And people's birthdays wouldn't rotate around the days of the week, which would be lame for 5/7 of the population. Edit: back to Forebruary, I think it's quite nice looking. and the timeline at the bottom is awesome. Reminiscent of the timeline in "Rock Me Amadeus". one of these things is not like the others...
I suggest you do what I did and redefine your birthday the way they do Federal Holidays. It's not "September 22nd" for me anymore, it's "The 4th Saturday in September".
