Calendar UI needs big improvement

i love my jolla, however i've been bothered by the default jolla calendar app. The N9 calendar is one of the best i've used and Jolla could get inspiration from it. The things that could be improved in Jolla calendar: - On top of the monthly calendar view, show the month and the weekdays by default. now i never know which month i am looking at and i can't see the weekday. that's very annoying, i need to pull down to see the weekdays. - enable more views, like weekly view and daily view to easily see the potential meeting ovérlaps. - reduce the font for the listed meetings below the monthly view. in that way, you can fit more events without scrolling

Calendar UI needs big improvement

i I love my jolla, however i've I've been bothered by the default jolla Jolla calendar app. The N9 calendar is one of the best i've I've used and Jolla could get inspiration from it. it.

The things that could be improved in Jolla calendar: - calendar:

  • On top of the monthly calendar view, show the year, the month and the weekdays by default. now Now i never know which month i & year I am looking at and i I can't see the weekday. that's very annoying, i Worst of all, I can't see the year! If you flip months to the next year, you have no way to know which year you're looking at. I shouldn't need to pull down to see the weekdays. - enable retrieve basic information like weekdays. I'm perfectly OK to peek to view the week number though because it's not key information.

  • Enable more views, like weekly view and daily view to easily see the potential meeting ovérlaps. - reduce overlaps.

  • Reduce the font for the listed meetings below the monthly view. in that way, you can fit more events without scrollingscrolling and can fit the must-have month/year/weekday information.

If the Jolla community is targeting the mass market users, we need to serve normal (i.e. non-geek) users. My wife, a "normal" user, said when she saw the calendar app: "iIt's pretty much useless calendar if you can't see the weekday and month/year by default". Jolla needs to reach mass market and the community needs to make sure those users are served with their basic needs. These recommendations are super simple to implement, let's do it asap.

How about opening up the source code of the calendar for the community to work on it?
