"Learning anything is a long term project, and long term projects are necessary for building a sense of control over your circumstances. Almost nothing can be deliberately and meaningfully changed within the scope of a day, but in months, certainly years, a lot of things can be made to happen."

IDK what this guy went through, but the outro hits:

"Keep going, even if that means taking a breather, to ultimately go even further."

Seeking: A team with great engineers and hard problems

It's a fair point. I think loss-aversion over React (Native) is to blame.

Their current client stack is: Web: React Desktop: React + Electron Mobile: React Native + Native

Their commitment to React on so many platforms makes it easy to accumulate bloat. Their need to support lower-level features means they can't avoid native code altogether.

I wonder why they stick with it.

My guess is they don't want to add more hires just for this problem

Contradictory indeed -- definitely let my eyes take on more than my stomach could process.

Curious to learn more about your calendars. I don't quite understand what you mean by 'see the darkest night hours' or 'all my data is to hand.'

It sounds like you're interested in new ways to visualize calendars, compared to the traditional grids. You might enjoy checking out Lightpad or Circular calendars. They represent time in a more real form, but I've struggled to use them day-to-day.

26 months of work, including 461 files, 21,905 lines of code, and 171 tests, is now public at: https://github.com/SwitchbackTech/compass.

I started working on this project because I needed a better way to stay on top of my schedule and tasks. As a minimalist, I wanted it to be simple and smooth. I spent the next two years building the foundational features, like OAuth, sessions, Gcal sync, drag-and-drop, and recurring events.

I gave it a helluva shot, but I didn't finish making my dream calendar. But now that my code is public, maybe you can make yours. Thanks to the MIT license, you could even fork it, add your spin to it, charge for it, and grow it into a great business.All I ask is that you let me know once it's ready so I can finally stop using my Google Calendar
