Improve Year view usability - anchor to current date instead of January 1st

Hi there

When using the Year view of Upcoming Events, the interface always loads from January 1st of the current year. This makes sense on January 1st - but not so much on November 2nd.

Users typically want to see what’s coming next, not scroll past months of past events.

Improvement request

When /upcoming-events/year is opened (re-direct ing to upcoming-events/year/2025/1/1):

  • Automatically scroll to or highlight the current date/week
  • or use a smarter anchor based on today’s location in the year

This would match expectations set by common calendar apps (Google, iOS Calendar, Outlook, etc.)

Why this matters

  • Reduces unnecessary scrolling

  • Keeps focus on upcoming activity • Especially helpful for:

  • Shift scheduling

  • Academic timetables

  • Busy event communities

Thanks for considering! This would be a simple but impactful upgrade to the Year view UX
