I've been building this over the past year or so in my spare time. My main job is as a freelance web developer. The aim was to create some timeline software that was easy to use and offered quite a bit of customization.

Here's a couple of timelines that have been created with the software:

Tell me what you think:

Awesome. looks great. The time line control.. did you create it from scratch or did you use a plugin?

Pretty much the whole site was created from scratch using Javascript, CSS, HTML and a smattering of HTML5 for the front end.

Most of this was written in-house by but we did use the odd bit of open source JS, for the color picker. Plus, we used jQuery for some of the animations and for its great dom selector engine.

The login/registration form does not use password inputs for the password box, and shows therefore the password in plain text when trying to login or register.

Are these all public timelines or can use it to create private timelines too.

Like for milestones on a project?

At present, all timelines are public, but allowing people to have private timelines is in the road map. If it is something that you are particularly keen on, we can move that feature forward.

Thanks for the feedback

Alex
