Maybe we can use react-big-calendar, seeing as we are already using react? The demo provided has a calendar similar to Office365's calendar, except optimized for one-touch actions. There is also a detailed tutorial.

@chiq2045 Here's the criteria we need if we want to use a calendar library:

• Easy to style: allows setting CSS classes and includes styling that can be easily overridden
• Easy to add React components to the calendar tiles

FYI, I really wanted to make a custom solution because it sounded like a fun exercise. If you find a library that does what we want though, then great!

I looked at that calendar library you mentioned and it looks like the creators intended it to be used with Ruby on Rails. I don't know for sure, but that could cause problems with integrating it into our project.

I looked it over again and decided that you were right. I will go with a custom solution. I would have a number of commits and a basic calendar set up in a couple of hours. I will make sure to observe the afore mentioned criteria.

I'm not good with css styling and design, so I'll be using Material-icons, and whatever looks good. Someone feel free to make your own or conform them to a style more conforming to the website.

I'll go ahead and do the styling and stuff!

Okay. That will save me some hassle.

Thanks for assigning someone else. I would not have been able to contribute for a while.
