Hi, I made this! I don't know how it got to this page. Thanks for the support :)

Thanks for making this. Genuinely something I needed, but not enough to actually build it. ^^

(Hope this doesn't sound wrong. I believe the "trimming hangnails" is an important and often overlooked job.)

Design is amazing. Well done. I inserted my birthday and got "Enter a real Gregorian date.". Only then I understood I needed to insert "mm dd yyyy". User error for sure :) but this date format really annoys me

It should be browser locale/region dependent. You may be able to fix it globally from your browser settings.

Hmm, I'm using Safari and don't see anything like this in the browser settings. And the OS is definitely set up to use the one true way.

I saw "import from LinkedIn" and closed the tab.

It's not a direct import, nor does it connect accounts or anything. It's an extension that lets you gather your profile data. It's just easier than entering each period by hand. I added it for convenience mainly.

So what is it for? To know how life periods span and change one into another? I like it but I am struggling to find a use case

Time is precious. It's so you get a birds eye view of how you've spent your time, and decide how to spend it next

Its funny to me that adolescence is until 20, where I'm from its 18 or even sooner.

In places it would be considered until 21 (US drinking age, many folks still in university till 21-22)
