#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
I thought of that too, probably using some 'mousewheel' event, but later I realise the page height may grow as well (with vertical scrollbar) depending on the number of events.
I'm curious about why you chose the horizontal plane in the first place, given that the web defaults to vertical.
Well uh, that's how I visualize my life timeline in my head :) A straight horizontal path, left to right instead of top to bottom.

I tried to use it, but it requires exact dates. Mine is obviously over-simplified and allows flexible (rough) dates.

#16What's the simplest way to run it locally? I don't necessarily want to upload it to gh-pages, but simply opening the html won't work either.

#17Looks nice. Also out there, if you didn't know, is Preceden, which I have enjoyed using.

Make a copy of life.example.md, rename it to life.md, edit it. Run the page on a local server.
