timestamp's Issues

Provide translations to clock label

http://momentjs.com/docs/#/i18n/

Maybe also use the locales from Moment.js for Pikaday?

App size

If the intention is to mimic/improve on Day-O you should also consider app size. Day-O comes in just under 9mb whereas Timestamp is almost 130mb.

Add week numbers in cal view

Request: also show the week numbers (optionally) in the calendar.

Future versions will ignore default preferences

Preferences.load() or .set() should merge current dataset with new one. Otherwise new default values will get lost when loading old preferences from disk.

Question on the always visible part in the menu item: Custom font or two rows possible?

In the dropdown menu I guess you have full HTML/CSS flexibility as it seems in
timestamp/app/components/calendar/calendar-today.html

My question: Can you also use full HTML/CSS layout (and as such custom smaller font size or a two row layout to condense information) in the part which is always visible (the menu item itself) ?

Or do you need to use macOS layouting capabilities there? Could the forementioned layout be achieved with it? Or does macOS put tougher restrictions on you there like one font size throughout the entire menu bar?

does not update time at time zone change

Amazing app. love the calendar feature.

I just found it does not update time when you move over time zones.

Use canvas to fake tray label as icon

Since Electron doesn't provide a way to have a tray without an icon (see electron/issues/1553 and even with an empty image as icon, there still is this empty gap), there could be a chance to achieve the same effect with using the icon as the actual label.

See electron/issues/5439

Calendar Display: First Day of the Week

Many, especially in Australia, regard Sunday as the first day of the week, and all of our calendars display accordingly.

Is it possible to (optionally) do this on the timestamp app?

Brilliant app, by the way.

Won't start at startup

I have checked the "Start at Login" in the Preferences but it won't start automatically.

Unused space before the widget

Someway there is a space before day of the month.

Show current month when showing the calendar

Currently if you are viewing a different month and you hide the calendar, when toggling back to visible, the state is where you left off. I find this is a hindrance as generally (at least for me), when I click to show the calendar, I'm curious about the current month.

Thanks

I was about to develop my own cuz 0 days is breakfull. But I found this and now it's about giving him lots of love.

Preferences and about window can be opened up multiple times

Need super-duper cool and fresh app icon

Showing events on a specific day

Hi there! I have just discovered Timestamp and I absolutely love it.

I would like to ask whether it could be considered a future feature to add events of a specific week connected to the calendar.

Cheers and keep up the good work!

Support different timezones as views

It would be great to be able to see the current time in other timezones (like UTC)

Alignment

Hello. It's the most beautiful calendar I've found for the menu bar, thanks.
However, I believe it is out of alignment -- too low and there is a large space on the left:

I'm on Sierra 10.12.2.

Implement autoUpdater

See http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/auto-updater/

PR: Spectron Support

Willing to add some initial spectrum support. Would a PR for that be welcome?

gap on left side of clock

Not necessarily something that needs changing in the repo but I'd like to get rid of it just for myself and not sure what to change

Open clicked date in macOS Calendar app

Clicking on a date should open the native macOS Calendar app with the clicked date preselected. Also provide an option to turn off this behaviour.

Tasks:

• ClickHandler w/ AppleScript
• Preferences option to turn it off

Improve documentation/website on how to customize it

Congrats on your first Electron app! I see this in the README:

customizable date/time display

But I don't see how to customize anything. Is that enabled yet?

Provide Translator for non-Moment.js related GUI parts

That would be:

• Right click context menu
• Preferences window

Time is not the same as it should be!

Time is always showing a minute late from the real time. What is going on with time?

Implement custom about window

Drop the standard macOS about dialog and replace it with a shiny custom window.

Secondary monitor calendar display issue

On secondary monitor the calendar is displayed lower that normal.
See this photo.

Auto-swtiching timezones

Hi, love this app and use it daily.
Recently, I was on a trip to another timezone and for a bit was confused because Timestamp was still showing me EDT instead of PDT. There didn't seem to be a good way to update it. Eventually, I thought about restarting the app and that worked.
Would be nice if Timestamp could detect the timezone change and update accordingly (or ask the user whether to update).

publish to brew cask

it would be great to make this application installable through brew cask to make it much easier to manage.

cheers!
😄

Add Google-Calendar support!!

It would be amazing to get access to google calendar events and a small popup form to add them too. :) I would love to help too. Is there a recommended way to get started?
ps: I love this utility ❤️

add some sizes to ui

mb in %
-25%
-50%

Timestamp doesn't switch light/dark modes

In Big Sur, this is what I'm seeing:

I'd expect the text to be white in light mode on Big Sur. If I switch to dark mode, it switches to white and looks fine.

Copy date by right click on date in menu bar

mb add some spec format for copying
