Tentative Implementation

I started to work on the implementation of the app, and the code is hosted here

Comments

I suggest to use "Participants" instead of "Guests" --EduardGotwig

When the user has lots of events at a specific day, how does the Month View will handle that? A good approach is to show a side list with every event of the selected day. --GeorgesNeto

A screenshot that (IMHO) is sorely missed above is the Evolution's Week View; a combination of a multiple day view and a list/agenda view. This combination allows for showing more text of appointment descriptions (something that is often hard with columns) but still allows for an structured overview of a period longer than a day (or simply a plain list). --PaulVanTilburg

When user has many events, it's hard to find current day in the Month View. I suggest to set a different background color for it, instead of setting a tiny black box around its number. --MehdiSadeghi
