Hey PH, I've been working on markwhen as a way to easily create, view, and edit timelines based on a simple markdown-like text file. I even used it successfully a few weeks ago for coordinating and sharing a timeline of events surrounding my wedding! It supports locations, images, links, multiple pages, dark mode, ISO dates, casual dates (like June 4, 2021, or Dec 12 9am), and more. I hope you find it useful, if you have comments or feedback I'd be happy to hear it. Also feel free to open issues on github!

@koch This is absolutely genius. Thank you so much for creating this. Timeline and gantt tools are so clunky and cumbersome (and expensive for such terrible software). I would definitely pay for this! Thank you thank you thank you!

@koch Just made a killer timetable! Two questions. 1) what is the format for inserting the location so it appears on the map? 2) is it possible to change the color of all of the items in a section or group without tagging each individual line? Killer killer killer product.

@koch #1 solved. You literally just put the word "location" in the parentheses.

@paulgeller I’m so glad you like it! 1) for others wondering, the syntax is (Paris, France)[map] or (Glasgow)[location] 2) Unfortunately no, you’d have to individually tag them. I could make it so that if it’s in a tagged group or tagged section then it gets that section’s color

@koch reiterating how freaking awesome this is. I can't believe you just solved a problem that actually needed solving.

This has tickled the part of my brain that likes data. I'm going to be making maps all day!

Wow this is ridiculously cool. There are so many use cases. I've tried to achieve similar effects with mermaid and always given up but this is a game changer. I'll likely use this in my clinical practice too.

- Incredibly useful for those of us who visualize in timelines - Easy to pickup the "language" - Ability to export your data as a file 🥳 - Maybe a little tech-y for your average Joe who won't want to look at the documentation, but no complaints from me!
