Funny and useful as a parody of corporate planning jargon
From 3 comments
This is fun. Seems like you got several comments here trying to "improve" it's "usefulness". I like it as is, a piece of art on how corporate speak is unrealistically obtuse.
plumbees on HNThis is really useful! I know the thing was made ironically, but this is unironically useful. How do I add it as a widget next to my calendar on my iPhone, Mac and PC?
wodenokoto on HNI did not expect that. I expected this to be about promises and sales and contracts. So it actually made me laugh.

Objections
Doesn't handle fiscal years or offset financial calendars
From 3 comments
We have a P0 to add calendar 445/ 544/ 454. This critical oversight is causing us to lose sales, as our sales folks never know when those companies fiscal year ends, and end up…
nzealand on HNOur Fiscal Year starts in October but one of a subsidiaries start in March which means we're often in different fiscal years. Make sure to account for that. We need to translate…

Week count appears off compared to calendar apps
From 1 comment
A funny idea but I think it is wrong(?) The site suggests it is "7 weeks into 2025" but as of today (Feb 25th, 2025) we are in week 9 (according to MS Outlook calendar at work)

Requests
Add business days or working days left
From 4 comments
Could be useful to have the number of working days left in the quarter (even an approximation of 5/7 would do).
ggambetta on HNYou could add how many "selling days" are left in the quarter (mon-fri minus holidays).
claytoncorreia on HNWhat about business days? Are you going to leave me at mere the "calendar days" like a Plebe
Giorgi on HNCalendar days are meaningless in corporate. Better state workdays (or best of both worlds: mention # of calendar days and # of actual workdays)

Add time zones and holidays
From 2 comments
What I would add to this (perhaps below the fold): 1. The current time in a few major cities around the world (NYC, SFO, London, CET, Mumbai and Beijing come to mind), with an…
miki123211 on HNThis calendar is what we work after A useful addition would be to show weekdays/weekends with a localization option for holidays (Here in Sweden we have 5 days off this Q2)

Questions
When do weeks start and how are partial weeks handled?
From 2 comments
I really like this. As easy as it is to be cynical about corporate-speak, I find that it's sometimes actually useful (except for the whole touching base and circling back…
mattas on HNWhat type of week numbers is this? US? There are multiple different numbering systems for week numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week#Numbering
