Clean look and smooth animations
From 3 comments
Nice work! Animation on the event reveal is smooth and responsive. Does it integrate into existing calendar to make it more seamless to leverage the web calendar?
cybereporter on HNlooks great! could this someone be rendered as a component in a react app ?
alfonsodev on HNNice work, looks very clean. Small suggestion for the date picker: I appreciate that you can click on the month+year to navigate between years much more quickly than using the…

Impressive engineering of overlapping events
From 2 comments
Woo I have a question! I have attempted something similar but my biggest issue was fixing the layout of overlapping events. Online solutions attempt to divide the column width by…
pandatigox on HNAh, never even thought of having a kind of overlap tolerance. I might look into if this would make sense for Schedule-X too. Solving overlapping events was definitely one of the…

Objections
No way to add, edit or resize events in the demo
From 3 comments
Looks nice! I assumed the demo is editable, because I can drag events around, but there is no way to add new events?
freetonik on HNHow do you create a new event, click or double click on the empty squares does nothing for me.
GrumpyNl on HNAwesome! Well done. What about resizing?

Month view gap between events is unclear
From 2 comments
I have a question about the design. On the screenshot on the homepage https://schedule-x.dev/ the events are touching the left border of the box for the day, but there's a gap…
adrianmsmith on HNThis is a good point. The Google calendar actually has a gap in the week view too. I just didn't understand why. Do you think it would look better if the gap exists in the week…

Month navigation uses separate pages instead of continuous scroll
From 1 comment
Why do you have months on separate pages that scroll left to right, instead of a continuous vertical scrolling view? It's so weird, I don't know why almost all calendars have…

Recurring events support
From 1 comment
Very cool! Having written a couple of web calendars myself, I found that most of the hair-tearing logical complexity was due to recurring events. I didn't see any reference to…

Click-to-create space in week and day views
From 2 comments
On Google Calendar clicking on an event you see the information of that event, clicking on a white space let's you create a new event at that time. Having some white space that…
JaumeGreen on HNCorrect! In the week- and day views there is still no gap, only in the month view. The discussions here today though convinced me I should also allow for a gap in the week/day…

Weekend-only condensed view
From 1 comment
One feature I wish Google calendar had is "weekend" view; a condensed view of upcoming weekends, hiding weekdays. You can hide weekends, but in my personal account planning…

Can it use an existing calendar as a backend
From 2 comments
I wonder, what would be cheapest way for backend to store calendar events and share between own devices? We are talking only about ten or so events per month, for one year ahead.…
butz on HNNice work! Animation on the event reveal is smooth and responsive. Does it integrate into existing calendar to make it more seamless to leverage the web calendar?

Alternatives named
FullCalendar
From 2 comments
I think this looks exactly like https://fullcalendar.io/demos
safouen on HNI respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree :) Fullcalendar is a great calendar, but it is not material design.

tui.calendar

There is a similar but established library already: https://github.com/nhn/tui.calendar. Did you take a look at that one before starting your own? If yes, what were you missing?

Remind

"Remind" calendar has been a daily driver for me for the better part of a decade, you might find some inspiration there? I could see these two things working well together?…
