Finally,

I showed you all this app idea a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846108

It was #1 here at hacker news most of the day. So I put in an extra gear and got the app finalized and launched.

It has been a side project of mine for the past 3.5 years. Basically, it's a clean Calendar app visualized as a zoomable and scrollable timeline. Developed on an HTML5 canvas.

Hope you all like it :)

Great job with the app.

Any specific reason to develop it using web technology over native?

Since the app is developed using Cordova, it shouldn't require much work to get a working iOS version.

The reason for the web technology choice is firstly that it works on the web :) and secondly for not needing to maintain code bases for each OS.

It has meant a lot of extra work, so I'm not sure I would recommend that choice to others.

And, yes, the iOS version shouldn't take much work :)
