It looks neat, but seems really niche. I'm not sure there is a market for such tool. I could see it used in education, but I'm not sure that teachers/schools would want to pay subscription for this.

Thanks for taking the time to offer feedback. It is definitely niche-ish. I don't expect this to turn into a billion dollar company. But a few thousand or so paying customers would be nice!

I am thinking the following markets:

1. Company history timelines (for company's celebrating an anniversary) 2. Educational timelines for use in schools and universities 3. News timelines created by journalists covering a major new event 4. Legal timelines 5. Personal timelines

2. Educational timelines - might be worth looking at curriculum for different age levels and offer pre-built timelines for various subject matter (with links to wikipedia perhaps) for each of the timeline events that can be offered to schools.

That's a good idea. We have created one educational timeline on US presidents (https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/timeline/shared/3114/USA-P...) but could do with creating a lot more.
