alt Hacker NewsStill no calendar where “today” is visually distinct. It has the same faded background as a multi-hour event.
Look,at the header image and glance in the middle of the Wednesday column vs the middle of Sunday’s or Monday’s column. Very little visual distinction: you have to ask, am I looking at a long event or the ‘today’ highlight?

Huh? Can't you very easily tell by checking if there is a light strip on the side?
Nor any visible control to quickly take you to "Today".
People who use calendars for work-related purposes typically want work-week focused views.
None of this is new. Which speaks to the people developing/designing this. (Or maybe they have incorporated this but the handful of screenshots aren't exposing them).
They aren't dogfooding this - or if they are - they aren't the power users - people whose typical day have more appointments scheduled than free time.
They need to seek out the power users so their design doesn't preclude use-cases (or at least make them very awkward).
Here's a freebie - for monthly view - the day that is highlighted should get a detailed day view as a sidebar.
