[image] lj_l: it would be much more helpful if days with 50 observations have a different color than days with 100. Or even 400 observations, for some users. At the moment, the color doesn’t appear to change above 50ish. how do you pick the right arbitrary cutoff that works for the most peopl…

[image] pisum: how do you pick the right arbitrary cutoff that works for the most people? why is 100 better than 50 for most people? Good point. In my second proposal, though, everything below 50 observations remains the same as it does currently. This would mean the calendar would look the s…

I like the idea. I think it will be low priority, but would improve the iNat experience.

[image] tisli: low priority honestly, i think it should be the lowest of low priorities. my take is that a separate calendar page for a given user really shouldn’t exist and should eventually be removed. in its place, whenever the Explore Page is finally revamped, it should include a temporal…

[image] pisum: a separate calendar page for a given user really shouldn’t exist and should eventually be removed Why? I use my calendar often, not every day. Especially as I add older obs to a traditional project.

are you arguing that something that can handle only one specific use case shouldn’t eventually be replaced by something that would be much more flexible, handling that original use case plus many other cases? [image] pisum: should eventually be removed. in its place, whenever the Explore Page …

If the new, is improved? Will wait and see.

[image] lj_l: where you posted many observations, Date posted, or date observed?

[image] pisum: if you wanted the scaling to vary by user, it seems to me like you would just scale from 0 to whatever the max daily observation count is for a particular user. I think this idea would provide the most intuitive way for shading the different days on the calendar. If say, your m…

I want to keep the personal calendar. It’s a nice way to visualise your progress and all that. I don’t really understand your idea for what will be in its place, though. I do agree that this should probably be the least of iNaturalist’s concerns as of now.
