Ask HN: Will We Rethink Calendars?

In the past the whole world used different calendars and ways to represent time. Currently a few religions still have alternative cale dars. In the near future do you think calendars will be vastly different than now?

Damn, I was asking myself the same question and ended up making a 10-Day Week Calendar app: https://tendayweekcalendar.com/

Interesting idea. What inspired this schedule? Do you live by this week-to-week?

The French revolutionary calendar inspired this idea. But the French went too far IMO by introducing not just a 10-day week calendar but also decimal time, that's why, I think, this idea didn't take off. They also kept those weird month names they came up with.

Well, I don't strictly live by this calendar, but I try. I've made the app to make it easier for me to do this.
