The Greg or Ian Calendar

This week I published probably my silliest web app to date, The Greg or Ian Calendar.

gregorian.mikecoats.xyz

Based on the joke that's endemic across social media, it’s a web app that will tell you whether today is a ‘Greg’ day or if it’s an ‘Ian’ day.

Monday - Greg
Tuesday - Ian
Wednesday - Greg
Thursday - Ian
Friday - Greg
Saturday - Ian
Sunday - Greg
The Gregorian calendar.

To really run the joke in to the ground, I took it one step further and added an iCal feed that you can subscribe to from within your desktop or mobile Calendar app. Never again be unsure of whether it’s an ‘Ian’ or ‘Greg day again!

If you’re that way inclined, the source code is up on my GitHub. Criticism, bug reports and pull requests are all very welcome!
