To get an overview for long-term project planning, a โ€œYear viewโ€ in Calendar is needed.

Gant charts arenโ€™t usable for my usage case because every task needs to be on a different line.
This way, information is scattered and I canโ€™t get a decent overview.

(If grouping items on a gant chart didnโ€™t merge all of the different subitems into one big blurp but kept different tasks with their start and end dates on the same lineโ€ฆ Yes, then it would be useful, then it would be great. - But thatโ€™s for a different feature request. Letโ€™s stick to a Year option in Calendar view as for now. Easy to implement, soโ€ฆ)

Hereโ€™s an image to show how useful a Year View can be - if you color code your โ€˜recordsโ€™:

(Itโ€™s only for September - December 'cause I only recently started planning my weeks with Google Calendar. :slightly_smiling_face: )

โ€ฆSo if we can have this on a halfway decent Android calendar, please, Airtable, can we also have this inside Airtable on our laptops?

Hi Tim, what did you use to make the calendar above - Google Calendar?

Hi @Dom_Ash, that is a screenshot from OneCalendar (and it syncs with Google Calendar).

It is not a great calendar app - for that I recommend Business Calendar 2 (Android) - but their year view is less useful. :slightly_smiling_face:

I would love a Year view that doesnโ€™t have the granularity of the day, but just shows the month and a list of the events that are scheduled in that month.

Hello, since Airtable is notably SLOOOOOW in implementing new features, I started to look elsewhereโ€ฆ

For something that:

  • offers a useable year view
  • syncs with Google Calendar OR has a Zapier integration (so you can make it sync with Airtable, with some workarounds)

I was surprised to find that there is almost NOTHING out there in terms of decent year calendarsโ€ฆ Very sad!

Hereโ€™s my โ€œtop 3โ€ of (more or less) decent options:

.

  1. YEARGLANCE.COM
    The best option out thereโ€ฆ Not great yet, but it has potential.
    Offers 3 year views: โ€œhorizontalโ€, โ€œverticalโ€ and โ€œmontlyโ€.
    Syncs with Google Calendar.
    Developer is very open to suggestions.

  1. TEAMUP.COM
    They offer a year view - which is the same as Yearglanceโ€™s โ€œhorizontalโ€ view - but to me it just looks awkwardโ€ฆ With the beginning of the months not being aligned and all.
    afbeelding
    I really want to see my year divided in MONTHS because I think in MONTHS - but thatโ€™s personal.
    Other than that it seems to work fine and it syncs with Google Calendar.

.

  1. YEARFUL.IO
    Same as TeamUp: only a โ€œhorizontalโ€ year view, butโ€ฆ thereโ€™s no Google Calendar sync. :frowning: So you canโ€™t make it integrate with Airtable.
    The product is still young, though, so it might be added in the future.

Hope this helps and saves you all some timeโ€ฆ :slightly_smiling_face:

@Tim_Heymans yes almost nothing it is cray ! even in Google cal or apple cal the view is useless, you can only see That there is an event on that day...

I'm am looking forward for solution and I found guys who did things in Notion, not Airtable.

Anyone to implement this ??? it is crazy in 2024 to have to do this on paper.
