About

In events I especially departed from task, for better look. In my case schedule have only one column, and it better looks with full width events.

Also function for calculating events conflicts and positions turned out very tricky so i've added some tests for it.
I haven't found solution with less complexity, but under current circumstances it seems okay. Typically we don't have huge amount of events per day.

P.S.

I'm trying to continue growing as a professional every day. So I would be really thankful for your feedback about this project. It'll help me become better!
