What'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.
Make a copy of life.example.md, rename it to life.md, edit it. Run the page on a local server.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
My quick web search didn't show anything without caveats, but if there's any decent javascript that can be used to make the mouse wheel scroll the page sideways, that would be a really nice addition.

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.
Draggable timeline in a max 100% w/h window would fix the scrolling weirdness for folks who care, and would also be usable on a touch device, but I think the interaction should always feel full screen, regardless of where you are in the timeline.
Love this idea, quite a lot actually.
Perhaps this is marketable to the folks at Timehop? :)
I can't handle the day/month/year syntax
