I have to write a calendar app. In js. Just fucking kill me right the fuck away.

But why?

Are we talking native JS or you can use one of the millions of jQuery plugins or npm packages available?

Just use luxon or whatever moment.js creators recommend now they're dead.

Don't.

Thats one of the most annouyimg things to write, and explain to Idiot PMs.

npm install --save react-big-calendar

It's a grid with some divs.

It's not hard. It's just fucking tedious.

Hire me as a junior. I'll do it for 35k a year.

@Wisecrack I think four jobs is enough for you. 🤣

@sariel whis counting?

I also work at starbucks, hardee's, dennys, and NASA.

I've never posted my actual job on here except once.

@Wisecrack you must be new to the whole dates, times, and timezones thing in JavaScript.

Layout is easy.

Dealing with broken tooling is not.

@fullstackchris how about not making it global?

I once made a pretty slick calendar in js that was similar to the Mac calendar app, then the feature got scrapped before it launched and I wasted a week for nothing 🥲🔫

Using a well developed time/chrono/georgian calendar js lib is crucial. There are so many weird things with dates, timezones and such that keeping track of that is almost impossible. Especially on a whim.

If you don't believe me, look up talks about timezones and date libs on yt.

One example: https://youtube.com/watch/...

Btw, gotta ask your PM: Does he want a excel compatible calendar or a correct one?

(Don't even they will surely never notice)

npm install calendar

haven't those been done to death? why do you have to reinvent the wheel?

@darksideofyay he just has to. Ask whomever gave the orders.
