I posted about ChronoFlo six months ago. And got no response from the community. Since then, I have added a ton of new features, including hand-drawn style timelines using RoughJS:<p>More info about hand-drawn-style timelines here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chronoflotimeline.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;entry&#x2F;hand-drawn-timelines-using-roughjs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chronoflotimeline.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;entry&#x2F;hand-drawn-time...</a><p>Here&#x27;s a timeline we created about US presidents: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chronoflotimeline.com&#x2F;timeline&#x2F;shared&#x2F;3114&#x2F;USA-Presidents-Timeline&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chronoflotimeline.com&#x2F;timeline&#x2F;shared&#x2F;3114&#x2F;USA-P...</a><p>I am the creator of this. Would love to know what you all think?

Looks beautiful with a lot of attention for detail. Well done.<p>To me the dark theme with stars makes me think of space, horoscopes, fortune telling. Not sure if that is good.<p>All though I like it, I cannot think of a use case. Maybe you should give visitors more suggestions on how to use it. And something to get me started quickly. Maybe add a button prominently to select something I could have, like a calender (I noticed from the faq that you can import ical and rss). Or maybe by giving me a link to some interesting public rss feed. Add a long list of public time based rss feeds with import buttons?<p>i think being able to quickly get started with something even mildly useful is now missing. You have to think more about connecting &#x2F; importing existing time based (or maybe not even that) content. The customization comes later, as a next step, once I have something that I like.<p>How about git repos? Make it look interesting so people want to embed on github. Good publicity :-)

Looks awesome! I remember creating a timeline app in Vue a few years back, this looks pretty solid in comparison.<p>I&#x27;m sure you can find a market in the news&#x2F;corporate identity field especially if you make it highly customizable and easy to drop in.

It looks neat, but seems really niche. I&#x27;m not sure there is a market for such tool. I could see it used in education, but I&#x27;m not sure that teachers&#x2F;schools would want to pay subscription for this.

looks great. tried the US presidents timeline and UK Coronavirus timeline. I feel the contrast is too low in the US timeline.<p>both timelines look low-res pixelated on my hidpi phones.<p>scrubbing on the bottom timelines runs janky on Chrome and Samsung Internet Browser on Pixel 5. also janky on Safari on iPhone 12 pro.
