Love the concept, not so much the execution.
The "Login after customizing everything" and "Pay to remove the watermark which renders the calendar useless" are borderline dark patterns.
But on the positive, it gave me an idea to make my own version of this calendar, sans the money grab.
- jehb 5y agoThe watermark literally just fell off of the document when I opened it in Inkscape. Everything else (except the watermark) rendered there, so it was completely clean just by opening. (Sorry, OP.)
- mrleinad 5y agoIt can be removed using Acrobat too, so...
- trevormcneal 5y ago- What you did that week ? - I tried to scam some people on the internet with some cheap pdf
- iakov 5y agoIf you get to do it - let HN know. I like the idea but despise the dark patterns that author employed in his work.
- m_a_g 5y agoTotally agree. Dark patterns making it to the front page always baffles me.
- foobiekr 5y agoI’ve been meaning to work on one that I can incrementally add to over time both historically and present day. I would really like to have one That has labels external to the life calendar itself poking into it like a giant cactus. I don’t want to create want to go, I figure it’ll take me a full year to actually populate the thing with the events that I either recapture by residing old photos, journal entries or otherwise talking to my wife. What can I say, I’m old and remembering important events isn’t going to happen all at once.
