Out of curiosity, did you consider skipping the signup requirement/process? Instead, just having a user put in their e-mail address as the only step?
Then it might work like this:
1) user enters email
2) you send daily "What have you done" emails to that address, they reply (which you can uniquely key to your database/calendar)
3) you email out the intended results, or if at a later time a user wants to log into the site to see a fancy calendar/history/graphs/charts, etc., at that time they could complete the signup process
I wouldn't say the signup is prohibitive in any way, and I admittedly did not investigate what features are part of being logged into the site - just a thought as less burden on signups seems to be a growing trend.
- rguzman 16y agoI did consider that and, in fact, would work. It was just quicker/simpler this way (django auth out of the box as it stands). We will likely move to that signup flow soon.

- smalter 16y agohow about sticking an image of what the calendar will look like on the main page? there is really all that much to explain about the site otherwise -- it's simple. (the mental energy of having to deal with one more site we hope is mitigated by the fact that we email you, you don't have to remember to check out our site.)
