Show HN: Creating OCD versions of a yearly calendar (calendar-architect.pages.dev)
3 points by szemy2 63 days ago
I'm a big fan of history's many attempts to square the circle: divide a hard to factorized number (days in a year) into even chunks, without sacrificing things like agricultural seasons.

This little project explores different calendar versions. I have highlighted my favorite solution :)

- 6 days / week - 5 weeks / month - 3 months / quarter - 4 quarters / year

As a good European the remainder 5 days are end of year holidays.

You can also select some of the historical attempts.

I'm really interested if there are more historical attempts that I'm not aware of!

I've added: - Soviet Revolutionary Calendar - Ancient Egyptian - French Republican - Intl Fixed Calendar
