Finally,

I showed you all this app idea a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846108

It was #1 here at hacker news most of the day. So I put in an extra gear and got the app finalized and launched.

It has been a side project of mine for the past 3.5 years. Basically, it's a clean Calendar app visualized as a zoomable and scrollable timeline. Developed on an HTML5 canvas.

Hope you all like it :)

Great job with the app.

Any specific reason to develop it using web technology over native?

Since the app is developed using Cordova, it shouldn't require much work to get a working iOS version.

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.

And, yes, the iOS version shouldn't take much work :)

Been using this as a replacement for Sunrise, and absolutely love it. It would be nice to see the app better adhere to material design guidelines. Also, you might want to prevent text selection under the "Calendars" view.

Glad you like it :) I'll check on that detail on the Calendars View, thanks.

Ah, congrats, I've been waiting for this! When's the german localization due? I know you already have some volunteers working on it.

Keep up the great work!
