Smooth and fast on mobile touch
From 2 comments
Awesome work! Very smooth with touch on mobile. As you zoom out, how do you decide which items disappear and which remain?
discordance on HNIt's one of the smoothest web apps I've ever seen, on mobile.

Clever, original zoomable interface
From 3 comments
Clever and original, and the Android app is very nicely implemented. Congrats. I don't know if I'll use it. First impressions are that I prefer fixed day/week/month formats as my…
crispinb on HNVery neat concept. Interesting take.
bkmartin on HNThis is nuts! It took me a few minutes to figure out how the information was laid out, but once I did, I was blown away. I'll be installing this on my phone right away.

Objections
Zoom is laggy or slow on desktop and trackpads
From 4 comments
Nice concept! It defilitely lags a bit on desktop (as said before) and it seems confused about whether it should scroll or zoom when I tried swiping on the touchscreen of my…
roesel on HNThis is an awesome way to interface with your calendar. But for me (on Safari 10 on a 2015 MacBook Pro), zooming (via scroll) was too slow (like, 1. do 2 finger scroll on…
neuland on HNThe zoom feels kind of laggy on web.
crobertsbmw on HNThere seems to be a bug that affects Mac trackpads with momentum scrolling — when I scroll quickly zoom speed slows to a crawl, then gets faster as the momentum runs out.…

Events disappear when zoomed out, hiding information
From 2 comments
Nice look. Just wondering, as I zoom out some events disappear from view. Is this by design? (macOS El Cap/Safari 10.0.2) e.g. Hockey with kids disappears when it gets to…
r00fus on HNI'd also like to see that other things exist at that level. I didn't notice the numbers at all.

Requests
Keep other events visible when zoomed out, such as dots
From 2 comments
Any way you could preserve the fact that other meetings exist at that level (maybe like Calendar on macOS does it - with dots representing events)? How do you determine which one…

Minimap overview feature
From 1 comment
This looks really neat! I'd love a minimap feature (a la Sublime et al). Something that could give me a high-level overview without enormous detail, but that also doesn't require…

Fix the now-bar freezing after long open sessions
From 1 comment
This is awesome. I seem to have run into an issue where if I keep the window open for a long time, the bar indicating "now" stops moving. My use case might not be common, but I…

Does it work with calendars other than Google
From 1 comment
This looks great, does it only work with Google calendar or can I use it with other calendar services?

vis.js timeline
