[Calendar] Improve Readability (Card Size)

[Ivan]

After the excellent work with the timeline, I think it’s time to improve the calendar view. At least we should be able to select different “card” sizes. In our case, we use the calendar to view the updates that we have planned for maps (we work in video games) that have already been published.

With formulas, we recur the task once it is completed, but if the map’s name is too long or if we have two maps in a recurrence, the name is cut when, in reality, there is plenty of space in the day.

Here is an screenshot with an example:

Yes we would also love to use the Calendar view. I can think of multiple improvements, but I would be already so happy if only readability of the cards is improved

Hey everyone, sharing here with the community a few ideas on top of what was already shared. I think these potential improvements to the Calendar view.

Critical Pain Point

The current implementation’s biggest issue is information visibility and readability. It’s extremely difficult to get a clear view of event details and their context at a glance. This fundamentally impacts the calendar’s usefulness as a planning and visualization tool.

Current Challenges

• Important information is truncated or hidden
• Property layout makes it hard to scan and comprehend event details
• Overall visualization feels cluttered yet paradoxically lacks important information
• The Calendar view’s current state significantly limits its practical usability

Proposed Improvements

Core UI Enhancements

1. Information Display

• Restructure property display: Show properties vertically instead of inline
• Allow configuration of which properties appear inline (e.g., Assignee and Status)
• Improve information density while maintaining readability

2. Tooltip Optimization

• Remove duplicate tooltips (currently showing both system and Fibery tooltips on hover)

Visual Customization

1. Text Display

• Add text wrapping option for entity titles
• Configurable entity icon visibility

2. Calendar Grid

• Option to show/hide weekends
• Week number toggle
• More subtle grid lines
• Optional weekend highlighting with different background

Reference Examples

I’ve included comparison screenshots from Notion and Fantastical to illustrate these suggestions:

1. Notion’s implementation demonstrates cleaner property organization and visual hierarchy
2. Fantastical shows how subtle design choices can improve readability

Here’s a sample of Notion Calendar where I think there are a few things that I would love to have on Fibery:

A few other cool things that could be tweaked, reference that I got from Fantastical:

The goal of these improvements is to transform the Calendar view from its current state into a truly useful tool where information is easily accessible and comprehensible at a glance.

Would love to hear if other community members have similar experiences or additional suggestions for improving information visibility.
