I made an updated version, which I called "neatocal", that allows for different options (and doesn't have the initial popup), including allowing for year changes, differing month counts, different start months, etc.
Nice. I did something in 2020 in a spreadsheet to calculate some sort of a Big Picture Timeline of the family with a our own definition of Success and Failures. For me, I found that it is easier to see Weekends in a Straight line rather than the starting date (I have school going kids).
I did it pretty manually because this is something I do once every year around the year-end.
Here is the Google Sheet Template. Change/Add/Edit the "YYYY" sheet to the year you want and fix the dates (should not take you more than 5-min). I have included the year a family member is born in the "Data" sheet to calculate the key events in life - Kids Graduation, and whatever else you want to in sync with you, your partner’s age, and any event you want to track.
I’ve been thinking about the same challenge. Most calendars feel too rigid and don’t really work well when your goals or routines shift over time. I started building something called BeaverGrow, a simple dashboard with separate widgets for goals, habits, notes, and timelines. The idea is to let you piece things together the way you want, kind of like Lego blocks.
It’s still pretty minimal, but if you’re curious, you can check it out at https://beavergrow.com
There's a Danish website: https://ugenr.dk/ which displays the current week number, it also have a printable calendar, but it seems a lille more useful as it already have holidays marked, week numbers and the layout is generally better.
No drag ability but you can put different color data into a data JSON file that gets used when rendering for Neatocal [0] (fork/extension of Neatnik's calendar).

Neatnik is a very nice project.
The page's html and css are reasonably small, 3.3kB and 1.5kB. There are three fonts, totalling about 51kB. So altogether about 56kB.
But then somewhat spoiling the page's nice light weight is a 576kB favicon.

Neat, but how do you close the message blocking the calendar?
Print it
It would be nice to be able to preview the result before printing it, so the question still stands.
Cmd-P brings up a preview immediately? Laid out on A4, like it'll print, unlike your arbitrarily-sized browser window.
The layout of the page is going to be a function of the paper size you put it on and the orientation of that paper. Use the print preview.
I used dev tools to nuke it, but it’s really annoying
Print it :)
Feature request: make it so you can pick the starting month. For example, school year is around the corner in September and that will be nice to have.

+1 for fiscal years.

If you want to print ahead: https://neatnik.net/calendar/?year=3000
I feel like 3000 will be my best year
This reminds me that not much of this year is remaining :(
Don't worry, there's a fresh one coming right after :)
At this rate, we'll be done in no time!
Useful, thanks!
Now if someone made one with the ability to drag colored blocks of days around..
Cassidy Williams recently published an open source calendar that might scratch that itch: https://pocketcal.com

No drag ability but you can put different color data into a data JSON file that gets used when rendering for Neatocal [0] (fork/extension of Neatnik's calendar).

I think "printing" in 2025 usually means "Save to PDF" :)
Cool.
thanks
