Show HN: I Vibe-Coded a 10-Day Week Calendar

The school I went to had an 8 day week. Well, really an 8 day schedule of classes. So if you started Monday on day 1, the next Monday was day 6 and Wednesday was day 1 again, and so on.

Confused the hell out of new kids.

Already done in 1789 it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar

And one implementation here: https://frcal.qt.ax/

Don't tell him it was a French idea, especially during a time where rulers were beheaded, he wouldn't like it.

Yes, but the French assigned those weird month names to it. And they went even further by introducing decimal time. This implementation is with GC and Microsoft To Do for people to play with.

Hey folks!

Imagine if we had 10-day weeks instead of 7-day weeks. Wouldn't it be great to have a 3-on, 1-off, 4-on, 2-off schedule or a 3-on, 2-off, 2-on, 3-off schedule?

And the calendar would be much simpler. It could have eleven 30-day months and a final twelfth month of 30+ days to include extra days to match the solar year.

I invite you to imagine this together at https://TenDayWeekCalendar.com

I used Bolt.new to vibe-code this web app.

It lets you connect your Google Calendar & Tasks and Microsoft To Do so you can see how your plans fit into 10-day weeks.

And if you are a freelancer or a person who works at any convenient time, then perhaps you will want to live and work by this calendar. ;-)

Have fun!

P.S. Let's ask President Trump to replace the outdated Gregorian calendar with this one. ;-)
