Heatmap default setting nitpick

Since the heatmap script doesn’t fit into the widgets, i decided to give in and style Wanikani’s in-house version.
I was almost done when I realised that setting it to year view does not persist and instead it defaults to past year on refresh.
I like to see the upcoming days because I’ve styled specific ones to show when I want to level up.
I’m not asking for year view to be default, as I’m sure not everyone uses it, but I feel like it should remember my choice.

This! It’s rather annoying.

I wanted to make a view of all the years I was actively using wk, so I added four wide widgets under each other so each row would represent one year. However, when refreshing the site, all four of them default back to past year.

Like so

Inspired by Kumirei's heatmap

I actually think Kumirei’s heatmap is vastly superior to WK’s version. I’ve always thought a heatmap should not only show when you were most active or when you dropped off, but also include a streak counter to help build a habit. That’s why I just use the study streak widget instead of the heatmap widget. I can’t use Kumi’s anymore since I jump between devices a lot these days.

Big yes. Kumi spent a lot of time working on it, adding lots of different features.

I don’t know if Kumi’s heatmap still works, but assuming that it does – what’s even better with Kumi’s script, it has forecast. See the light pink squares during and after the then-current May 2021:

You could select and drag the squares to get a summary and count of all the reviews done across a time period. Kumi genius.
