Ever wonder how many days you have left to live?
Death Calendar can show you at a glance.

The main feature is its SVG calendar generator. It's meant to be used as a reminder of your mortality, so that you can make the most of your limited time on Earth.

This was 100% inspired by the waitbutwhy.com article, visualizing human life using various charts.
