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 :)

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

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 :)

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 :)

Hi everone, Thanks for all the great feedback. Anyone applying for Beta-testing will have to wait a few hours. Got my hand full :)

Feel free to use the contact form for any questions or if you just want the IPhone version.

Cheers, Peter

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 found a good way to solve it yet. Thanks /Peter

Well your looking at the demo calendar. You'll have to switch to your google account to get total control. Hope that helps /Peter
