I don't mean to be too critical as this is pretty cool stuff, but that large calendar is not very good UX. The gradient behind the month, week day tabs interferes with the readability of those words and those giant red x buttons on the even

Interesting, but I am not willing to surrender a basic key binding like `s` with what can be done with /. It is only an extra key to do the same thing. You should lower your ambitions and just make this a function one can key bind to a char

I imagine, since you say you love C# are you a .Net programmer? Others have pointed out that .Net programmers are Microsoft's biggest cheerleaders these days and have a conflict of interest in speaking about Microsoft's future since maybe t

I hate that Mixpanel and Google Analytics APIs return data in timezones, and the former doesn't tell you what the timezone is while the latter in v2 of their API can give you the wrong timezone.
