Show HN: Just a Calendar: Simple Calendar to look at, no login, super light

You can go futher. Just type cal in your terminal:<p><pre><code> ~ % cal March 2022 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31</code></pre>

It would be great if you could share this via url. You don&#x27;t have to store anything, just query params.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calendar.sharats.me?g=20220101,20220102" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calendar.sharats.me?g=20220101,20220102</a>, ....<p>You can save the year you&#x27;re viewing as well as any highlighted dates and their color. You can fit a lot in query params or further even compress the dates.

It&#x27;d be nice if there was an option to set Monday as the first day of the week.

An extra thanks to everyone checking this out and sharing issues you&#x27;ve faced. The fact that you folks are vocal about the issues you faced instead of just moving on, tells me I&#x27;m not the only who needed something like this. Cheers!

I&#x27;ve been a fan and user of David Seah&#x27;s calendar for 3 years now.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;davidseah.com&#x2F;node&#x2F;compact-calendar&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;davidseah.com&#x2F;node&#x2F;compact-calendar&#x2F;</a><p>I keep a pdf and screenshot version on my desktop and phone. For date ranges, I use the excel version.

Whenever I see something about calendar I&#x27;m usually tempted to do the LOTR Calendar trick;<p>Go to your Terminal and type<p>$ calendar -f &#x2F;usr&#x2F;share&#x2F;calendar&#x2F;calendar.lotr -A 365

Kinda reminds me of one of my favourite websites, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;weeknumber.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;weeknumber.com&#x2F;</a>

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.

I tried to enter several date format variations in the &quot;Go to date&quot; prompt() pop up. None worked.

The date here is currently 3&#x2F;30&#x2F;2022 (12:56 AM), but the calendar tells me it&#x27;s the 29th of March (I assume that&#x27;s what the red box around the day means).

Cool, you should have a cookie banner for users to consent to being tracked by Google Analytics though.

I work shifts.. so I build <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skiftkalender.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skiftkalender.com</a> And <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skiftkalender.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skiftkalender.app</a><p>To get a calendar that just works for me

Very cool. Optional week numbers would be nice. We use them at work for planning things.

&quot;Got to date&quot; doesn&#x27;t work on Firefox 98.0.2.<p>Console shows the error:<p>Uncaught TypeError: app is undefined<p><pre><code> promptGoToDate https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calendar.sharats.me&#x2F;app.js:303 onclick https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calendar.sharats.me&#x2F;:1</code></pre>

As an aside, python has a (kind of oddly specific) has a part of the standard library called &quot;calendar&quot; that will render HTML calendars.<p>Always thought that was kind of funny, but I&#x27;ve seen a codebase use it once or twice.

Good idea.<p>Calendars look good and highlighting works. You could put highlight details in localstorage so you can keep them.<p>On my phone the header part is not good in portrait mode and not great in landscape.

Another one here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.timeanddate.com&#x2F;calendar&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.timeanddate.com&#x2F;calendar&#x2F;</a>

The marked dates disappear when I try to print the page (FF98.0.1, Mac). Actually when I push Cmd-P the years decrease with one every time.

Love it, simple &amp; useful. Well done :)

I like the simplicity. No React or Angular, just vanilla javascript.

Doesn’t work on mobile.
