Feature description

When comparing Fossify Calendar to Business Calendar, they are very similar, however BC has one district advantage: The full day view.

When looking at Daily View in FC, you get a list of events. This means you have to:

  • Interpret where the gaps in your calendar are
  • Tap "add" and select the time you figured out

The "full day" view is basically a Weekly View, but only for the current day:

In this view, a user can easily scan the day, and tap on the time they'd like to start a meeting.

This also makes for a great widget view:

Since it means a quick glance is all you need to see when you are free.

Why do you want this feature?

So I can switch back to using a FOSS calendar 😉

But really, advantage/challenge described above.

I also would very much appreciate such a full day view. Etar has it as well. https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar

You can have a day view like the one you described:

  1. Enable customizing day count option, under Settings > WEEKLY VIEW
  2. Go to the weekly view and adjust the slider to 1 day.

@nakibrayan3 thank you for pointing this out, however there is no weekly widget, so this gets halfway there.

I would also very much appreciate to have a full time-line view when switching to the day view! Moving the above mentioned slider in the week view to "1" shows the first day of the week, which means, I have to usually swipe forward until I get to the right day. Direct switching to a full day view would be much faster and easier.
