## This app is a strange loop

Pardon the reference to the lovely book, which I've only started.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Strange_Loop

With sleepCal, I decided to allow myself to go the easiest scripting route possible. In a way, this is not far from what scripting in Excel is like. No architecture, just very immediate goal centered coding. Definitely not software engineering, just easy coding.

So the entire app is a single PHP file. (Okay, behind the scenes there’s another one that acts as an include wrapper, but has no actual domain functionality.)

You might want to familiarize yourself with basics of PHP to understand this app.
* Tutorial: https://www.w3schools.com/php/
* Condensed: https://users.astro.ufl.edu/~warner/prog/php.html

How does the app work? Well, it takes advantage of PHP’s very simple way of passing parameters sent to the page, to the script, using the $_GET array. You enter any of the numerical parameters into the form and press submit. They get sent to the server and immediately passed back to the script itself, to produce a new page.

(These are HTTP GET parameters, so you may want to check what those mean. 
Also, caveat: Always check user input from that $_GET array, it may be insecure and try to hack you.)

Basically what happens is that if all of the numerical parameters are entered in an acceptable way, the table of sleeping times gets generated. If not, an error message is shown. This is what I mean by strange loop above: The script produces the same page from itself over and over again, just modified according to the parameter values.

There is no client side logic. There are no pages for showing the results, separate from the form page itself. Even the CSS is inlined, because why not? There's only a single page to show it anyway. (Don't come whining to me about wasting bandwidth. The page is tiny anyway.) It's a kind of a strange loop.

Although no, I don't think this is actually a strange loop in terms of the official definition. (Whaddaya know, there is one, and it's from the book.)

## TODO - DEVELOPERS WANTED!

if you would like to develop this further, patches are welcome and I could set up gitHub if you want to work through there.

Prioritized list, most concrete on top: 
* data entry 
     * instead of the number of hours the rhythm moves each day, allow giving length of sleep period, length of awake period to determine calendar 
     * use hours and minutes instead of decimals
     * allow setting the calendar starting time (use progressive disclosure in the UI)
     * use html5 date controls 
          * use HTML5 time/date element for form controls and perhaps jQuery UI for the UI for non-HTML5 compliant browsers- http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-markup-20120329/input.time.html  http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/createelementcheck2.shtml
     * as options increase, use progressive disclosure with html5 details element http://webcloud.se/code/jQuery-Collapse/
* data display
     * add a real calendar view such as http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/
     * visualize when the hour cycle starts repeating itself, and when there's a switch in years
     * there seems to be a bug in the past date dimming sometimes such that even the current day gets dimmed
* store user input in a cookie or with a user ID (facebook/google login?) so that users can return to calendar to see their up-to-date calendar even without having the bookmark with them
* iCal etc. export

*** 
CHANGES
* 2014-01-09: fixed issue in Chrome/Chromium where input type="number" without step attribute would not allow entering decimal numbers
* 2019-10-22: added viewport meta tag and some line breaks to make it responsive on mobile devices, fixed show only calendar, added to github

... but then, I guess could've just taught them to use a spreadsheet program ...
