Core Concepts

The calendar application is built around a few key principles that ensure a seamless, intuitive, and flexible user experience. These concepts define how the application organizes and presents data, handles user interactions, and supports customization.

Event-Centric Design

Events are the heart of the calendar application, enabling users to create, manage, and visualize their schedules effectively. This concept focuses on:

  • Flexible Event Management: Users can create, edit, and delete events with ease, with support for recurring events and detailed metadata (e.g., title, description, time, and attendees).
  • Drag & Drop and Resizing: Events can be moved across dates or time slots and resized in day/week views, providing an intuitive way to adjust schedules.
  • Color Coding: Events can be assigned distinct colors for quick identification, enhancing organization and visual clarity.

Common Use Cases:

  • Scheduling meetings or appointments
  • Planning personal or team tasks
  • Tracking deadlines or milestones
  • Organizing recurring events like weekly check-ins

Multi-View Navigation

The calendar supports multiple views (Day, Week, Month, Year, Agenda) to cater to different user needs, ensuring flexibility in how schedules are visualized and managed. This concept includes:

  • Dynamic View Switching: Seamlessly switch between views to focus on specific timeframes or get a broader overview.
  • Context-Aware Interactions: Each view provides tailored interactions, such as resizing events in day/week views or summarizing events in the agenda view.
  • Responsive Layouts: Views adapt to different screen sizes, ensuring usability on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Common Use Cases:

  • Reviewing daily tasks in the Day view
  • Planning weekly schedules in the Week view
  • Getting a high-level overview in the Month or Year view
  • Summarizing upcoming events in the Agenda view

Interactive and Customizable UI

The application prioritizes a modern, user-friendly interface that enhances interactivity and personalization. Key aspects include:

  • ShadCN UI Components: Built with reusable, customizable components for a consistent and polished look.
  • Dark Mode and Time Format Options: Users can toggle between dark and light modes or choose between 24-hour and 12-hour time formats for a personalized experience.
  • Multi-User Support: Filter events by user to support collaborative environments, such as team scheduling or shared calendars.

Common Use Cases:

  • Customizing the interface for personal or team preferences
  • Collaborating on shared calendars in multi-user environments
  • Ensuring accessibility across devices with responsive design
  • Enhancing usability with dark mode or preferred time formats
