An interactive timeline showcasing all the books I have read (or at least, the books I can remember reading)

Not quite the same but we created a timeline ordering game for US presidents: https://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/1842261/US-Presiden... You can also use our app to create tim…

That's weird. It works perfectly for men much older computers and also on my M2 Mac Pro. What version of OSX are you using? I created that product, btw.

Ha! That's my product. Thanks for mentioning!

I used a similar technique to create glass-like panels with my online timeline maker ( https://www.chronoflotimeline.com ). You can see an example timeline with glass-like panels h…

Do you mean a list of all monarchs in the world?

Thanks for the tip. I will take a look.

Love to know what you think. I have been developing a new 3d timeline visualisation over the past few months for my timeline maker app ChronoFlo ( https://www.chronoflotimeline.com…

I posted this a year and a half ago but got no response. Trying again now as RoughJS is currently trending, and there might be some interest. Would love to know what people think o…

Fantastic library. I used it to create beautiful hand-drawn style interactive timelines. See https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/blog/entry/hand-drawn-time...

Thanks for the suggestion. Mehrgarh is a very important archeological site. But according to wikipedia ancient history has a very specific meaning. If my interpretation is correct,…

If you are interested in the far past, you might consider taking look at an interactive timeline of ancient history I created using data from Wikipedia: https://www.chronoflotimeli…

A few years ago, I thought I'd try to redesign the calendar (as these guys seem to want to do). My innovation was integrating a timeline navigation to allow you to easily animate b…

I have long been fascinated by timeline designs. So this is right up my street. So impressive what these artists of old managed to create without access to computers and design sof…

That's a good idea. We have created one educational timeline on US presidents ( https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/timeline/shared/3114/USA-P... ) but could do with creating a lot m…

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback. Some good advice there. The feeds idea is a great suggestion.

Thanks. Will take a look.

Thanks for taking the time to offer feedback. It is definitely niche-ish. I don't expect this to turn into a billion dollar company. But a few thousand or so paying customers would…

Fixed. Thanks!

I am sure /shownew gets substantially less visits than /show. And /show does not get many. I wouldn't be surprised if the main way that Show HNs end up on the home page is because …

I have run a little experiment. Published a Show HN. In the last 30 minutes, I have had around 37 visits via your app. And zero via Hacker News' Show HN page.

I think Hacker News needs to do more to highlight Show HNs. Lots of them just disappear without trace and with no-one commenting on them. So I like what you have done. It brings so…

I posted about ChronoFlo six months ago. And got no response from the community. Since then, I have added a ton of new features, including hand-drawn style timelines using RoughJS:…
