Creator here - glad to see people like markwhen! Been working on markwhen for a few years now, originally inspired by cheeaun's life timeline that another commenter posted about. At this point markwhen is available as a VS Code extension, Obsidian plugin, CLI tool, and web editor in Meridiem. Some recent markwhen developments: - Dial, a fork of bolt.new (Stackblitz's very cool tool that leverages AI to help quickly s…

I used Markwhen recently to make an interactive Gantt chart for a proposal to a collaborator and it went swimmingly. (We got the gig!) So, thank you! For the record, I used the Obsidian plugin to develop, then deployed as static HTML.

I skimmed the documentation and didn't see any reference as to whether Markwhen supports dependencies? I.e. MSProject-style make one event dependent on another task ending or starting.

Did you need/use that functionality?

Be careful. Gruber (who has trademark in “Markdown”), appears to not like people using his trademark name. https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-commo...

Not only is this a different name, but that was an attempt to essentially expropriate Markdown. This is nothing even close to that.

Wow … John Gruber was also very upset, … , that the word Markdown was not capitalized throughout the spec.

I searched for a trademark for „Markdown“, but I didn’t find any. Can you show me the trademark?
