       Show HN: I built presently.live for better weekend planning and
       insights
        
       Hi HN , my partner and I were looking for easier answers to our
       weekend planning ritual, such as:  - When is our next free weekend?
       - What weekend activities have we got planned? - How busy/available
       are we to travel / host?  Especially at the start of each year,
       when we're trying to plan flights and/or commit to hosting friends
       & family visits, I struggled to find a usable overview of multiple
       months that wasn't cluttered with weekdays. Our social events are
       overwhelmingly centered around weekends and we wanted a view of the
       year ahead that reflected that.  How about just a line of 52 boxes,
       one per weekend ahead, shaded differently whether it was free or
       maybe busy or definitely busy? That was the initial sketch on a
       napkin that lead to a first proof of concept script that I ran
       locally.  Now, it's a webapp* that reads from our calendars (Google
       only for now, sorry) to visually summarise weekends - all with
       readonly access. I've since added some calendar-write features from
       there ("pro" version, completely free) as our lives become busier
       with a dog, and parenthood more recently. Features like event
       templates, summarising events by hashtags, flagging
       draft/unconfirmed events etc.  We've been using it to scratch our
       own planning itches for some years now already, and I'm sharing
       here now in case it can be useful for others. Even better if you
       have any feedback.  What / how have you hacked to get clearer and
       direct insights into your time?  I think time management and
       calendars have been lacking a UX overhaul for a long long time so
       it's a space I'm passionate about tinkering within.  *stack is Nuxt

       | - congrats for writing and publishing this useful looking tool!

       | - why are there no screenshots or preview how this will look like
       | before I give access to my calendar
