#42Nice, these “Markdown for X” tools are super neat. Wish this worked nicely with mobile view, seems like a lot of the text are overflowing and margins are squished in the demo

#43Creator 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…
Looks very good.
Just a note. It was really hard to find how to sign up.
EDIT: and I still haven't found how to sign in in the desktop app.

#44Note that Mermaid also supports timelines (if it is new enough): https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/timeline.html
Mermaid is supported by gitlab/github and other markdown editors (within code blocks).

#45Great project, I always felt that this was missing in Markdown.
I wonder how we can "end" a timeline and start a new one in the same doc? So that I can write stuff like:
# My important project.
Description of the project goes here
## Timeline of the project.
2024-12-02: This is what I did today.
2024-12-01: This is what I did yesterday.
# My other important project.
Description of the project goes here.
## Timeline of the project.
2024-12-03: This is what I plan tomorrow.

Some thoughts about what I have written above.

#47Again reimplementing Emacs Org mode. Nice work!
This looks terrific, but honestly Markdown is a document markup language. Org mode, while superficially similar in scope, is actually a data storage and exchange format. The data manipulation and querying built around Org mode are unlikely to be replicated in Markdown.

Congratulations on your release! I've working on building exactly the same tool but you beat me to it... I cannot compete with this functionality, and completeness. Amazing work!
