Native OneView Calendar?
Background
While waiting for the official port of Sailfish OS for the Sony Xperia X there was time to have a look at an up to date Android smartphone. The default calendar app uses the normal day-week-month format but I wondered if there was something that would fit my way of thinking better.
Temporary solution
I found an app that was very close to what I was looking for. It is called OneView Calendar. The app only has one view (as the name suggests) but that view is zoomable. It is possible to have just a three-day weekend as a view, or look at a bunch of tightly packed five minute meetings during an afternoon. Long events float to the right of the shorter ones. To sum things up the app is very clear and very flexible.

An interactive demo is available at: http://app.oneviewcalendar.com/
Sailfish X
But my phone will not be an android unit much longer. The only app I will miss is the OneView Calendar. There is a web view that lets me see the calendar and the event info, but the default browser in Sailfish OS doesn't allow me to add events.
Suggestion
So here is my request for a native Sailfish OS version of the OneView Calendar.
Local data would be default, but syncing with external servers (such as Google services) would be optional.
Native gestures, menus and looks (including ambience background) would be used.

Update
My Sony Xperia X runs on Sailfish OS now so the OneView calendar is no longer an option. It was the only app that made me hesitate to install Kymijoki instead of Nougat. The zoomable linear view is so addictive that both my fiancee and my ex-wife have started using the app on their android devices. I have tried to contact the creator of the app without getting a reply so there wil probably never be a zoomable calendar for my phone. ...and that is really sad. Now there's no choice but to go back to pencil and paper for planning and the rigid day-week-month views on the display.
A zoomable timeline would have been a great spine to hook all types of files to.

- Instead of only creating a native version of the calendar it would be more useful to create a timeline library that can be used for other apps as well.
