Author here - just a simple tool to record stuff / track habits in a github-commit kind of heatmap.

I wanted to go through the process of developing a deploying a decent web application - all new subjects for me.

I picked Meteor as a framework, and after going through the excellent "discover meteor" book decided to dedicate roughly a month to a project that could be considered useful to other human beings. Feedback appreciated!

I was rather expecting to find a UI library at the other end of that link, rather than a SaaS offering.

Having found the latter, I was disappointed, although given what appears to be increasingly typical practice not surprised, to discover that there's no meaningful information on offer about what the service does or how to integrate with it. It should be possible to find out whether and how I can use your service before I decide whether to sign up for it; otherwise, how am I to know whether it's worth my time to sign up for it at all?

I was expecting the same thing, and was also disappointed.

Sad to hear that. If you're looking for a library that does that check out the excellent cal-heatmap, based on d3.js - it's the one I'm using on the site.
