Show HN: I built a 7-day calendar app – no months or years, just the next 7 days

jimkleiber•9mo ago
Hmm, but it has a calendar at the top with the full month. Kinda confused me if it's just supposed to be 7 days, why have that?
mrcwinn•9mo ago
This was literally my immediate reaction as well. You could further simplify the concept by just asking, What’s next? And other todo apps have done this.

Still, I like the aim!

skylanh•9mo ago
Back when I was invested into todo lists and the Android task list app I was using was still available (since archived by the author):

01 Today

02 Soon

03 Month

04 Scheduled

05 Later

09 Cancelled

other tasks lists like "1 SuperImportantProject", "9 Someproject".

Then discipline to recycle your lists, and force yourself to stay on list.

The key app features required: 1) multiselect and move between task lists, 2) easy, low friction task creation, 3) calendar and task integration for scheduled tasks

antonyh•9mo ago
This. A grouped agenda style would be really good, if it can handle repeated entries properly. On Android I exclusively use agenda mode but it's quite cluttered with recurring events.
sixtyj•9mo ago
It is a demo of month, as demo font was used for graphics :)
blcknight•9mo ago
Seems to add to the wrong days for me. Adding to Monday never seems to work.

nice app! way to build!
standardUser•9mo ago
I'm something of a calendar fanatic and I especially love tools that help me view time differently. My main feedback would be a) on desktop, the monthly calendar adds nothing and pushes important stuff below the fold and b) capitalization matters for visual hierarchy, and by making it all caps you remove that capability. Great work, love the concept.
prawn•9mo ago
Are you using a dodgy font? Fours and apostrophes don't render correctly for me on Chrome/OSX.

I can't see any indication of how it would be used as everything is empty and hitting the (+) brings up a login. The animated panel at the very bottom seems superfluous also.

marcellus23•9mo ago
Firefox on Windows 11 and seeing the same font rendering issues.
sphars•9mo ago
Seeing this on Android as well. If you zoom in on the 4s, you can barely make out the word DEMO and a tiny icon[0]. My guess is this is a font trail missing a few glyphs to make sure you pay for it.

Suggestion: For something like this that's non-standard, an explanation would be useful. All I can do is click the + button and then I'm hit with an attempt to harvest my email address.
nbagersh•9mo ago
I'll add a popup explaining the app before asking for emails
fungibletaco•9mo ago
love it
d1sxeyes•9mo ago
As an idea, I like this. I didn’t create an account but do you have to pay for this?

If not, why do you need to create an account?

One thing I would say is that the whole concept of 7 days is great, but some people would benefit from future/past review.

Maybe hiding “advanced” past/future views somewhere would be beneficial?

nbagersh•9mo ago
i wanted a way for it to sync across devices, and thought email was the best option for now
freshteapot•9mo ago
Nice idea. Nice design.

It is mentioned elsewhere, the calendar as the first thing, dilutes / confuses the messaging.

Clicking on the days, does that open on the day or does one always have to use the add button?

I didn’t sign up, as I don’t want a service.

rcarmo•9mo ago
Cute, but I would prefer someone improved task handling in GNOME calendar and am sad that desktop apps have so little developer effort on them these days..
exe34•9mo ago
That's interesting - could you say a few words on what might motivate somebody to drop their hobby and work on something you'd prefer?
rcarmo•9mo ago
That feels like baiting, but here goes: We still need to fix the cracks left on native desktop software as a guarantee that offline computing works.

Anyone who's gone through a power blackout will attest that we still need stuff that works without the web.

exe34•9mo ago
> We still need

It sounds like you have made some efforts already in that direction and are hoping to recruit more help? Do you have a group/mailing list set up already? How do you guys organise?

g105b•9mo ago
Nice work. I have a weird bit of feedback - your app isn't drawing the number 4 correctly. Sounds weird but here's a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/QqKgEBG.png
dtrav•9mo ago
I like it ! Its not hard core tasking but ideal for those of us with busy dad syndrome. It would be nice if the day picker was check box or radio buttons rather than a pull down.
mhitza•9mo ago
Was this vibe coded? It gives me that feel when even basic things like standard ways of dismissing a modal do not work.
verzali•9mo ago
There is something wrong with the number 4. In the calendar at the top (which has months and years?) none of the 4s are displayed properly. Every other number is fine.
oneeyedpigeon•9mo ago
Looks like it's something to do with it being unlicensed. If you go here:

https://befonts.com/integral-cf-font-family.html

And type "1234" into the "sample text" input, you'll see the 'bad 4' more clearly.

antonyh•9mo ago
I see the benefits in this, it's an interesting concept. I'd find it more useful if it didn't need to scroll on desktop. There's so much whitespace on the sides that could be better used on non-mobile form factors. I use a paper calendar, and while skeuomorphism probably shouldn't be a design goal, not having to interact to see everything (unless overloaded) would make it truly shine. Progressively giving more information on entries that are sooner could also be another advantage if done carefully.

wwfa•9mo ago
That bottom graphic is sick! :)
snypher•9mo ago
This doesn't 'work' or do anything for me. Nothing is clickable except the 'sign in'. Only submission by this poster and no followup comments in the thread make me think this is just for harvesting email address or something.
nbagersh•9mo ago
Based on early feedback, the 7-day calendar app has been updated with a cleaner interface, improved time input and mobile responsiveness, and now includes recurring tasks. Thoughts on the updates?
