[random advice from the internet]<p>I think the idea is interesting and the execution seems well done. Because, I don't want to log in with Facebook to save, I can't see the end result and ultimately have no idea whether or not it is actually any good. So I will probably never use it, and almost certainly never recommend it (since I have no idea if at the end of the road Time.graphics is actually any good.<p>From a business standpoint:<p><pre><code> What is the business value of a visitor's Facebook login?
What is the business value of providing accurate
knowledge of the *final* product to a visitor?
What business problem does obtaining a visitor's Facebook

Years ago I tried selling software and my strategy was simple. I made a free demo version that showed what could be done and provided a lousy high level functional experience (i.e. it could not be used for actual work) so that people would buy it. I don't think people tend to buy software that leaves them with a bad taste in their mouth. I don't think time spent building tooling that makes the demo lousy is time well spent.<p>At any size it makes sense to understand potential users. At a certain size it probably makes sense to use Facebook as a tool to aggregate data. When there are only a couple of hundred or ten or one, then it is better view them individually. Ask them, "Am I solving your problem?"<p>Good luck.
Nice work!<p>I've been looking for a good timeline script for a project I'm doing. I'm currently using vis.js [1], but this looks good also.<p>Is the script available for use via an API, or do you only offer iframe embeds?<p>1. <a href="http://visjs.org/timeline_examples.html" rel="nofollow">http://visjs.org/timeline_examples.html</a>
Small issue: On my 27" monitor full-screen the hamburger menu is shown on the top right, thus hiding the links to the excellent <a href="https://time.graphics/popular/" rel="nofollow">https://time.graphics/popular/</a> for example. Tested in Firefox and Google Chrome.
It says it downloads stuff (JSON, CSV etc). If I want it to render a chart with some data generated in a server, would that be possible? I don't see how.
