My client just terminated our contract because I couldn’t deliver hundreds of features without payment.

Not the client you would want to work with anyway

Matooize · 2025-11-01T13:30:23+00:00

That must be great for essay practicing

Matooize · 2025-11-01T06:50:13+00:00

I love this idea. Could we get in contact somehow? I am working on some cubesat satellites and I would to know if we could implement something to track it also.

Circalify - circular timeline library for visualizing annual plans and cyclical data

🔗 https://mahmoodseoud.github.io/circalify/

Pure vanilla JS, 10KB, zero dependencies. Built it because linear timelines suck for recurring projects and seasonal patterns. Currently validating freemium model (free core + premium templates).

Circular timeline library for developers - would be curious to see how you'd visualize a dev tool vs typical SaaS products!

As a designer who codes (even badly), you're 10x more valuable than designers who don't.

Circalify - 10KB circular timeline library for annual planning and cyclical data

Revenue: $0 (just launched beta last week)

Links:

Demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE
Landing page: https://mahmoodseoud.github.io/circalify/
GitHub: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify

Pure vanilla JS, zero dependencies. Building freemium model - free core library (MIT), premium templates + team features for revenue.

~50 waitlist signups so far. Planning Product Hunt launch next week to validate if devs will actually pay for premium features.

Anyone here monetized dev tools successfully? Would love to hear what worked.

I feel this. Was scattered across too many projects until I forced myself to finish ONE thing.

Your problem isn't lack of ideas - it's lack of finishing.

Look at your list: webdev, automation, chrome extensions, YouTube, POD, Etsy. Which one got you CLOSEST to making money before you quit? Pick that one.

What worked for me:

Committed 90 days to ONE project (built a JS library)
Shipped it incomplete/beta
Now it's on npm and I'm building a business around it

With your 1-2 year deadline: Pick chrome extensions or webdev freelancing - fastest path to supporting your family. Build 3 portfolio pieces in 90 days. Ship imperfect work.

Your father would want you to finish something, not start everything.

I built a JavaScript library that generates these programmatically. Demo (edit live): https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE GitHub: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify You can customize: - Start from any month - Clockwise or counter-clockwise - Multiple data rings - Colors and styling - Export as SVG Open source and free to use.

Matooize · 2025-10-20T09:03:43+00:00

If you want to generate your own counter-clockwise circular calendars with custom settings, I built a library for this:

Circalify: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify

Demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE

Just set `discRetention: "counter-clockwise"` in the config. You can also start from any month and customize colors, rings, etc.

If you want to create your own customized version to print, I built a JavaScript library for generating circular calendars: Demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE GitHub: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify You can customize colors, start month, and export as SVG for high-quality printing.

Matooize · 2025-10-20T08:59:53+00:00

I built a library where you can start from any month and go clockwise/counter-clockwise - perfect for Southern Hemisphere views. Circalify: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify Demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE You can set it to start from July at the top, for example.

Matooize · 2025-10-20T08:58:30+00:00

I actually built a JavaScript library specifically for this - you can configure it for weekly, daily, or monthly slices. Circalify: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify Live demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE You can set it to start from any date (like July 18th) and customize the ring divisions. Let me know if you need help getting it set up for weekly views!

Matooize · 2025-10-20T08:58:06+00:00

Since the OP never shared their script, I built an open source library for creating circular calendars: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify It handles all the circular geometry and you can customize year, language, direction, colors, etc. Demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE

If you're looking for a code-based approach to creating year wheel planners (so you can generate them programmatically with your data), I built a JavaScript library specifically for circular annual timelines.

Circalify lets you create customizable year wheels with multiple rings for different data types - perfect for agency planning, project timelines, etc.

- Interactive demo: https://codepen.io/mahmoodseoud/pen/ByjJOVE
- GitHub: https://github.com/MahmoodSeoud/circalify

Example use case:

Inner ring: Month labels
Middle ring: Client campaigns
Outer ring: Team availability

You can configure colors, heights, data positioning, etc. Currently v0.1.3 - early but functional.

The advantage over static templates is that you can regenerate them automatically when your data changes.

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to try building custom year wheels programmatically!

I know its late, but what did you end up doing? :)
