Wow, that's a cool timeline. You should give it a try! Didn't know it existed.

Well the stack is small :) No backend. No db. Using Typescript to get some compiler help, instead of plain js. No libraries for the graphical parts. All drawn on an html canvas. And finally wrapped up to native with Cordova.

The web app only works with Google right now, but the Android app works with most services.

It's actually just a matter of "longest wins", so no magic :)

Sorry about that. It hasn't been tested on laptops with touch screen. Sorry also for LOL, imagining you trying to catch the plus button. I'm sure your not alone there :)

Hi, well yes that is but design. It may take some getting use to. When zooming out of only shows the most important appointment and a small number telling you that there is more to see by zooming in. Hope that works for you :)

The reason for the web technology choice is firstly that it works on the web :) and secondly for not needing to maintain code bases for each OS. It has meant a lot of extra work, so I'm not sure I would recommend that choice to others.

I built this app with web tech. It was sweaty, and I many times wished that I had gone native. But now that it's done it is something native could never be :) http://www.oneviewcalendar.com

I like Moleskine's design and I have noticed the similarity. But their app is escentially different and if it matters the answer to your question is no :)

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Sorry for hijacking the scroll, but it just had to be done :) Your second point on recurring events is good, I will look at that. Even more so the last point, that one is really important, but I haven't fo

No frameworks, just plain js on a html canvas.

Thanks for your interest. Performance has been har to get good enough. Basically it is a javascript app on a canvas. Thats why it can be integrated on the landing page.

Hi, glad you liked it!! On the trackpad scrolling and zooming is done as on google maps. That is a two finger scroll does zooming and a single finger pressed and dragged does scrolling. Hope that helps.

Hi, I will try it out again. The zooming and scrolling should have been done to perfection, but maybe I've missed something. The two finger zoom is intended to follow your fingers vertically and ignore any horizontal movement.

Oh, Sorry friend I know that feeling. We should of teamed up ;)

Haven't thought of that, but maybe self hosting could be done. I intend to make the app free, but it isn't open source.

Thanks for the feedback. I Haven't got the same error as you, but I will have to find out what has gone wrong. Better than Googles calendar was nice to hear :)

Glad you like the idea. Yes, it would of been hard to build without javascript. But if you use android you can get the app :)
