Hi, it takes the first event's date as the first box, then renders weeks (boxes) after that.

I have the same problem - my birthday is a couple of weeks in the future, but gets rendered in the past. I edited the options so that the only event was my actual day of birth.

Is it just calling all years exactly 52 weeks long?

I'm not sure what that means ("my birthday is a couple of weeks in the future"). If you could take a screenshot and paste just the sample data, that'll be great! Thanks.
Sure - what email or other non-public place can I send that to? If you'd rather not post contact info here, you can contact me at my hn handle @gmail.com

What I mean is that my actual birthday falls in October, but the weeks display is displaying the week where I turn X as having happened a few weeks ago. I'm being a bit vague because I'd rather not publicly post my exact birthday and age, but I believe you can recreate the same issue using the input posted by iamben above - saying you are born on <today's date> 1970, shows the week where you turned 50 as having happened many weeks in the past, when it should obviously be this week (or +/- 1 week at most due to dates being complicated)

Thanks a lot for explaining! I've just fixed it, it's closer but still not super accurate as there are leap years and a year has about 52.143 weeks. I'll look more into that later :)
Awesome, thanks! It looks a lot better for my data :)
