looks a bit like oursignal.com, or like a treemap in general

Why are weekends half-size?

  to reflect work-weeks?

    To reflect how quickly they seem to pass.

I like it. Here are some suggestions for anyone expanding this idea: - make each of the main boxes a little bit narrower so you can have a full week (1+6) in the top section, and a full second week (including full-sized weekend days) across the bottom - make the "flow" obvious somehow. A thicker line separating the top boxes from the bottom would help. Slightly darker or lighter background colors as you get farther from "today" would help as well. - squeeze in navigation controls: a big "today" button, and forward/backward day and week arrows (in the day and week areas). - the very bottom right box could be replaced with "upcoming", and list off anything marked as a priority in the next few weeks after the end of this display.

  "Next week" shouldn't be at the day level- break it only into thirds... early- middle- late

I was thinking something like this that maintains a column format. http://i43.tinypic.com/zu2m2d.png http://i43.tinypic.com/zu2m2d.png

  That is brilliant. I think I'm going to steal it for my next app, for integration sometime after the MVP is done.

    Speaking of which, when do we get to hear about your new project?

      When I have something interesting to say. I started work on it on Monday, for certain values of "work".

      The hidden agenda of the upcoming Tokyo HN meetup is to find that out.

  I'd like that a little better if it had one or two past elements for each zoom level (eg., the first column is fine, the second column needs a "yesterday" and probably a "today" for grounding, the third column needs last week, and the last column needs to be 12 months starting 1 or 2 or 3 months ago)

  I was thinking 1/2/5 days log ratios, but yours has the virtue of keeping the usual week/month/year. Let's see, with some arbitrary truncation/rounding: Log10 of 2, 5, 10: 0.3, 0.7, 1.0 Log10 of 7, 30, 360: 0.8, 1.5, 2.5 I'll take it. Thank you.
