Share your schedule without the hassle

As an engineering manager, I often need to look at a year not as a sequence of weeks, but as a pattern of specific days: vacation days, conferences, team events, public holidays across different countries.

Very quickly, this turns into a surprisingly complex puzzle - especially when you’re trying to align personal plans with work commitments, international holidays, and nearby events.

Typical use cases come up all the time:

  • Planning work travel and conferences
  • Coordinating family vacations
  • Keeping track of personal or local events
  • Understanding availability across countries and teams

Calendars are hard

Calendars sound simple until you actually try to use them for something slightly non-standard. Everyone interprets dates differently. Some people think in weeks, others in months, others want to see “all important days at once.” Sharing calendars adds another layer of complexity - permissions, privacy, accounts, syncing issues.

Using a spreadsheet for this? That’s usually overkill.

A different approach

So I built a lightweight way to work with dates.

Instead of traditional calendars, it’s a set of days:

  • Easy to visualize across a full year
  • Simple to share
  • Flexible enough to mix different contexts

The key idea is privacy and simplicity.

All calendar data is stored directly in the shareable URL. There’s no backend storing your events. No accounts. No tracking. No server-side history of your calendar. If you have the link, you have the data. If you don’t, nothing exists.

This is still an experiment, but it’s already useful for real planning scenarios.

Feedback, ideas, and edge cases are always welcome — this project exists because calendars don’t always fit the way we actually plan our time.

P.S. The typo is intentional… or at least that’s what I’m telling people. It happened around coffee #12 and commit #47 😉
