What is GravitySched?

A physics-based calendar app where meetings collide, heavy tasks crush light ones, and you hurl unwanted events into the Gap of Unemployment.

How does GravitySched handle overlapping meetings?

Newtonian physics: heavier meetings bounce lighter ones away. No grids—just rigid-body chaos via Matter.js.

It's an April Fools' DEV challenge entry—demo likely in repo, but production? Pure fantasy for now.
