Is there any plan to implement a calendar/agenda visualization?

inb4 : don't get me wrong, i searched thoroughly the forum and the github issues.

Yet all i came across loops back to a grid heatmap visualization. That is not what i'm talking about : i'm dreaming of a way to visualize a monthly calendar/agenda of database entries (events) that got :

  • a start date
  • an end date
  • a name
  • any other text field associated

to my noobie eye it seems that it might not be impossible to implement since there is already a date selector widget (which is a calendar on its own), but i could not find any info on such a visualization.

So something like this? Visualization: Grid Heatmap · Issue #5474 · metabase/metabase · GitHub

Well that's a heatmap, not a calendar !
I was thinking about an agenda view like this :

Oh! Yeah definitely not possible now and I doubt it will be implemented anytime soon

That's too bad, it would be really helpful for lots of data analysis situations...
Guess i'll find a way to cheat through some horizontal bar graph to get a sort of gantt diagram that would get close to the event visualization that i want.
Thanks for the reply anyway !
