What comes into your mind when someone says "calendar"? 🤔

@sdetweil let me add on some more. 😆 What if you want to see the calendar for a different month or a different year altogether?

@BKeyport exactly my opinion. I really don’t get why people say “let me check my calendar” when they can say “let me see my availability or schedule”. The calendar is just the list of dates, arranged in a weekly and monthly grid, nothing more, nothing less.

@aderoks MagicMirror does not load modules on the fly, only at startup.

currently no module can change its view like that.(no swipe right for another month or year like on mobile)
| I see Ext3 can do ‘glance’, but only thru the pre-configured data output by the default calendar module…
you could use mmm-pages to enable viewing a second predefined view, but two fixed definitions would have to be setup for startup time.

@aderoks because the word ‘calendar’ has become the colloquial term for all the formal scheduling stuff.

and it now is separated from its physical presentation.

I can view it in many ways. but all come down to a moving window of time over the larger collection of time ordered entries.

hour, day, week, month, are all some time box boundary to view the data thru.
managed by the ‘calendar’ application you are using

@aderoks
CalExt3 has also ‘glancing’ feature, if you have a proper input method to trigger valid notifications(yes, even with swiping if you have touchscreen and use MMM-Touch module together)

Anyway, MM is DIY hobby project, not perfect. If you want some feature, just build by yourself and share it with others. That’s all.

@aderoks one of my friends, a very funny fellow loves BBQ and joking. so when one says him “let me check my calendar” he gets back with “sure, but please don’t put me on the grid” ;)
