Clever and compact layout
From 4 comments
This is pretty clever and I admire the author for coming up with an elegant way to show the mapping of week days to dates. I'd be particularly interested to see the algorithm…
intrepidhero on HNI'm not really sure what I am looking at. EDIT: Now I am. Clever!
daw___ on HNWoah this is so clever!
xwowsersx on HNWhat's cool about this representation is just how compact you could make it. Forget a page, this could fit on a card in your pocket. EDIT: A very quick (and rough) example:…

Hard to read; the day/date layout is confusing
From 4 comments
how in the holy hell do you read this? there are only 5 dates columns; how do you read days in month columns 6 and 7 (feb aug mar nov)? am i suppossed to matrix multiply this…
kryogen1c on HNIt's just wrong isn't it? It says Jan 20 is a Tuesday. It isn't.
7777fps on HNBrit here. While this is undoubtedly clever, it confuses the hell out of me!
GordonS on HNIt took me stupidly long to work out how to read it, which I think was just because days don't progress in the usual way, i.e. avoided if months were swapped to the rows, and…

Breaks with some ad blockers or in Chrome
From 2 comments
Wow I just discovered that it's uBlock Origin that totally breaks the page layout. Which means that for some reason this page's CSS are detected as an ad source, and blocked!…
j1elo on HNIt renders fine for me in Firefox, but garbled in Chrome. Disabling this CSS rule "fixes" the layout for me in Chrome, without breaking anything obvious in Firefox: @media…

Programmatic generation or source code
From 2 comments
- Source code? - Is this generated using a known algorithm? Can the same trick be applied to other years? Very cool idea!
yepthatsreality on HNIt seems like it should be able to be done programmatically, though. It suddenly seems like a neat project.

Option to swap rows and columns
From 2 comments
Great concept. I would've prefered an option to switch the days of the week and dates of the month. That way the numbers loop and the day of the week is fixed as a row/column…
abhchand on HNA feature addition: Clicking on a particular month, should select its column and decrease the opacity of other months. Will increase readability.

Highlight today or equal column widths
From 2 comments
Not sure why, but it seems like the script which appends the 'today' class to today's cell doesn't seem to be working.
grenoire on HNAnother suggestion: Keep the width of all dates equal, so that the first column does not look weird.

Unix cal and calz

Oh cool! I happened to build something similar a while back, because I was frustrated with the way that the Unix `cal` program laid out all the months in a 3 x 4 grid instead of…
