So this is neat in terms of the technical prowess it took to put together. I really want to make that clear up front because its impressive in that regard. The animation is super smooth (at least on chrome), and it looks really cool. Its amazing whats possible on the web these days.<p>The actual functionality of this tool itself confuses me. Why would I ever want to visualize my schedule in this manner and with this kind of a UI? When I go to make a new appointment of visualize my week/month/year/life I have never yearned for a UX that looked anything like this. Furthermore, dragging to whatever I want to see (ala google maps) potentially way far in the future would make me pull my hair out. I don't really understand how it solves anything around this problem space. I dunno maybe I just don't get it. Regardless my hats off to the people who made this and I wish them good luck.
Hey HN -<p>My name is Sahil, and I'm excited to share this v1 of Spase.io with you. It's a 3D planner where time moves forward, instead of in 7-day loop-de-loops, so that when you see stuff in the future, it really looks like the future.<p>So if you have a project deadline, a birthday party, or a reminder to do laundry, that event will actually register spatially in your mind as in the future.<p>Spase.io clearly not as powerful as Google Calendar or Todoist but it does hack your brain to focus on the future.<p>What do you like about this v1, and what do you want to see it become?<p>- Sahil
Looks pretty (not really smooth in Firefox, but still). I'll stick with 2D, though.<p>If you like the time-distance mapping idea, this 1D calendar might be worth trying: <a href="http://www.oneviewcalendar.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.oneviewcalendar.com/</a> (i'm not affiliated in any way, just used it for a while). Some old threads on HN: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=oneviewcalendar.com" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=oneviewcalendar.com</a>
I have an idea that I haven't had enough knowledge to build, that is new visual for folders hierarchy based on physical sense ux.<p>This kind of visual navigation would help user to define their own physical nested shapes like House, Rooms, Desks, Folders Files etc. This eliminates the weak points of dumb nested folders. This also helps in real physical world in putting personal items somewhere in the house, because in computer world you can "search"!<p>It would be interesting to see urban visual to store items in weird hierarchy such as year > month > date > items.<p>Good stuff
FYI, smooth in Chrome, but quite a slow frame rate in Safari. Also takes 90-100% of a whole core when it's animating at all, on a 2.9Ghz 2017 Mac Pro.
Sorry but this seems like a classic 'if you have a hammer everything seems like a nail'. There is no problem with the two dimensions that a traditional calendar has. Want to know whats in the future? Turn the page or look further to the right and to the bottom. This just makes it harder to see certain groupings like months/weeks etc.
Cool idea and great execution! The paper airplanes are a nice touch.<p>I'd suggest making it a little more clear which day is selected and a lot more clear which item is selected (plus editable text/color/date).<p>Also, is there a way to make my calendar private? Public-by-default doesn't seem wise.<p>Would love a tech write up :)
Nice work. It's a little too heavy (not snappy enough) for my personal taste, but I like the concept and the site is overall impressive. Have you thought about making a desktop or mobile app? Might make it more responsive.
I'm sure this works great at impressing people who wear ties, or as demo reel for FUI work, but I couldn't even bother waiting for the intro animation to finish. Do not want.
Extra note: if you'd like to share feedback via email, hit me up at sahil@spase.io<p>I'll be sure to respond in < 15min!<p>Any feedback at this stage will go a long way into improving the product.
I can see using this with an AR or VR system.<p>Super Medium? <a href="https://www.supermedium.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.supermedium.com/</a>
reminds me of fsv, the 3d file manager<p><a href="http://fsv.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://fsv.sourceforge.net/</a>
I can literally hear my battery die as my Intel "GPU" tries to apologise for JavaScript's 3D-capabilities.<p>No way I would ever use this. But I have to admit that it is a nice demo and certainly a good portfolio project.
