#2Seems not right for the comments here to be empty but I don't have much to say other than this looks incredibly nice. Hope I have an excuse to use it at some point.
Thanks for sharing!

#3Is there support for date ranges? e.g. 2024-12-25 - 2025-01-06 ?

It's the second example in "Basic Syntax" on the right.

#7This looks very good.
Is there syntax for dependent tasks in the timeline? In other words tasks that only start once prerequisites are done.
If the date of the original tasks changes, the dependent tasks move accordingly automatically, without needing to edit a full list of dates for each dependent item.

#8This looks amazing, will definitely try to incorporate it into my workflow!

#9Besides the tool itself that website typography is excellent. Guess I'll have to use Playfair in my next project.
Edit: One thing I'd like to see with the basic syntax example is fiddle with your default dates to make it more obvious that the span is a span. At the time scale it is now, it just looks like another dot.

It's a timeline that tracks events and periods. It doesn't seem to have the concept of a task in any way.
