Simple and clean, no login

Love it, simple & useful. Well done :)
chrismatheson on HNthank you for the reminder that, sometimes, the tools we really need are not the complex, fancy "products", but indeed "Just a calendar". I like the simple, no-depenency solution.
maverwa on HNI like the simplicity. No React or Angular, just vanilla javascript.

maxwell on HNI'm seeing the same thing, showing March 29. My current time is 2022-03-30 08:14:53 EDT.

Drag to select date ranges
From 1 comment
This is great, I was looking for exactly this yesterday. One point of improvement, it would be great if we can drag and drop to specify ranges.

Kinda reminds me of one of my favourite websites, https://weeknumber.com/
wodenokoto on HNhttps://vecka.nu/ is the Swedish variant, very clean. Translats to "week.now" so easy to remember.
