Hmmm. Long and flat?
Possibly:
Apr - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 - Jun
(If nothing else, this entire exercise is teaching me that I need to re-vamp everything with style sheets in ways that are not quite so clumsy and dumb. Anyway.)
This sort of thing could work. Doesn't look bad, for a start. Not too bad, anyway.
The above, however, is still fairly busy. And the individual numbers are difficult to hit with a pointer, and it probably won't fit the width of a text terminal browser.
Things could be tightened up a bit, so as to only show dates with content:
Apr - 5 6 9 10 11 12 23 24 29 30 31 - Jun
Still difficult to hit. Hmmm.
Apr - 5 - 6 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 23 - 24 - 29 - 30 - Jun
Better, but if there are too many active entries...
Besides all of that, we've lost the full representation of the month now, which is only a step away from doing something most Watership Down:
Previous - Twice Previous - Thrice Previous - Four Ago - The Rest of It
Which I like, but it doesn't actually help.
Back, like a sheet
