Other thing I'd love to see in a calendar app is prompting me to track the exact amount of time I spend on each thing in my calendar. Having contextual reminders and a split (planned/reality) view would be really interesting. It would help spot those people who are habitually late.

#44Hi all. Just wanted to show you my latest side project (been working on it for a couple of years now). It's a calendar app with a twist. It's developed as a web app, thats wy it could be integrated directly on the landing page. It can also be run on any device directly from http://app.oneviewcalendar.com Instead of the traditional monthview and day view I have used a timeline that is zoomable and scrollable. Give it…

#45There's something existentially terrifying about being able to quickly zoom out from out from a view of 5 minute intervals to one of several decades.

#48This is a cool demo, but why would someone want to have all these long running events on the screen at all times? It makes the UI cluttered and less clear what the next thing is you need to be doing. For example, do I really need the fact that I'm on vacation to be taking space at the side of the screen at all times? I'm not going to forget. This kind of design makes it easier for me to miss things I need to remember…
That is a very "now" view of time.
I like my calendar to act as an archive, a diary that writes itself simply through living.
In the moment I may want to only see the beginning and end of a long-running event, but on the whole I want to see what happened/is happening at the given time frame in the past/future.

Can it be self hosted by users? Is it open source?

Terrifying yet inspiring! Must make the best of such short existence :)
I'm not trying to be negative, but I disagree. It's deeply unsettling.
People don't do well when confronted with planning at that scale. Not only that, but when looking at decade scale, you probably don't want to see daily tasks bleeding in. It's one thing to see a five or ten year plan. It's another to see that you're still planning on going to the gym at 8:30, June 7th, 2026.
