In the old HN fashion:

- 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

Thanks for the feedback! - preview screenshot added just now. It's funny how easy it is to miss those simple things despite having looked at it for so long.

I still don't quite get it. I can scroll my mouse on Google Calendar looking at the Saturday and Sunday columns. 12 clicks of my scroll wheel and I've seen my year of weekends. In your screenshot, I scroll left-to-right and Sat/Sun are combined, but I am not understanding the benefit of that.

The screenshot is just a small snippet, zoomed in for clarity (and to avoid sharing PII from my actual calendar) but I actually see about 5 months ahead at a time with zero clicks/scrolling on my standard browser.

Also I find the horizontal timeline view helps to spot clusters of too-much-going-on more intuitively than the typical wrapped view of a calendar block.
