D3/Calendar

D3 calendar chart

Notes

Original example: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4063318

Basically, chart does all the hard stuff

You just create a list of formatted dates and times, and provide it a colormap

Main challenge was styling, getting line colors matched up and looking okay, getting colormap figured out

Colormap script from Python
