Things made out of curiosity over the years, with good people, happy accidents, and the occasional frustration.

Most digital planners are templates with a few configuration options on top. You can pick a color or a font, choose whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday, and that is roughly where it ends. If you want something that fits how you actually work, skipping a month, marking certain days differently, or generating just a three month spread, you are out of luck.
An early attempt in Figma got tedious quickly. Generating pages was manageable but hyperlinking them, which a calendar needs a lot of, was slow enough that I left it alone. After coming across Typst, it felt like the right foundation. Papermaker takes your configuration and generates a fully hyperlinked PDF planner built around what you actually want. You can adjust formats, add languages, or break the output into multiple files. People have been using it and adding to it since it went out.
