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

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..

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.

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?

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.

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

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?

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!

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

It is a demo of month, as demo font was used for graphics :)

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.

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.

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.

Seems to add to the wrong days for me. Adding to Monday never seems to work.
