I made an online stage calculator! Enter your starting date and choose how many stages (or groups of 32 days) you plan to listen to (up to 192 days or a 6-stage sub), and the dates of each stage's beginning and the expected end date will be calculated and display below. It displays a full date according to your browser's locale (i.e. your language and country settings) and assumes 12 noon UTC+0 of that day for now.

Use it at: http://www.luxatom.com/stage.html

It's all client-side JS, so it can be easily implemented directly on sub-shop in the future. I put an ad on the page for any possible AdSense revenue.
Yours is more simple to use than mine was. But less complete.

I was looking for that post when I made mine, yes. I look forward to adding some or all of your extras to mine, Alpha360! Wink

edit: Yours is indeed extremely detailed. It's more likely a candidate for becoming a full-fledged (web?) app (especially the keeping track of certain self-reported feelings and states and creating the graphs) rather than a simple calculator.

I had always used my own calculator, but I think it's useful for people who want to keep it simple. One suggestion: Let the people know which date format is required. For example I tried to enter a date in our European date format which doesn't work (DD.MM.YYYY).

Good idea, the Mozilla doc about what's accepted is too vague anyways. I put the note on it now about accepting MM-DD-YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD, and modern browsers (except Safari on Mac for some reason) should pop up a datepicker when you click the field.
Update: Clicking on a stage now lists what the expected 32 days for that stage should be. One step closer to Alpha360's spreadsheet!
This is brilliant! Simple and to the point! Easy on the eyes as well!
MM-DD-YYYY doesn't work for me, but MM/DD/YYYY. The other one is working fine. (Cyberfox)

The funny thing is, Microsoft Edge shows me a datepicker using the European date format (But it works that way here).
