This looks neat. I wish it used iso8601 [0] dates. It’s pretty convenient as the time periods uses the format YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD and I think is easier to mentally parse than MM/DD/YYYY-MM/DD/YYYY.<p>Of course I didn’t even know what a solidus (“/“) was until using iso8601.<p>Also, I usually find standards pretty much as overhead, but 8601 seems pretty good as a universal standard.<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601</a>
I’ve been working on markwhen as a way to easily create timelines just from text.<p>I’ve used it personally to help plan and coordinate my own wedding (<a href="https://markwhen.com/rob/wedding" rel="nofollow">https://markwhen.com/rob/wedding</a>) and for keeping track of life events, and I’ve seen it used for event planning, project management, and to visualize historical events or periods of time.<p>I personally like tools that let you immediately start using them, and I set out to do that here with markwhen.<p>Let me know if you have any questions!
Looks similar to Mermaid-js's Gantt chart support: <a href="https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/gantt" rel="nofollow">https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/gantt</a><p>Once nice thing about Mermaid is it's built into [GitHub's markdown](<a href="https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-files-mermaid/" rel="nofollow">https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil...</a>) and has support in Notion
This is awesome! I want to see other tools like this. I dream of a project management system that is text based and lives in your codebase seems we are pretty close with this. Planning (this), comments / descriptions (markdown), identity / people (??), tickets (??) Anyone know of something like this?
This is an excellent landing page that immediately draws my attention and shows why I'd want to use this. This is a great example of how a landing page can demonstrate a tool quickly.
Anyone ever run across anything like this with a simple syntax that can do a timeline with split AND merges? I've always wanted something like the linux timeline [1] as an interactive timeline that can both split and merge.<p>[1]<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg" rel="nofollow">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Di...</a>
I'm working on an MIT-licensed time-tracking tool in my spare time and I'm hoping somebody (in a "this is not legal advice"-capacity at least) can enlighten me on licensing here:<p>If I am understanding the AGPL-3.0 correctly (and assuming that the format is also under the license), I could NOT add an "export to Markwhen" feature to my project without then being forced to convert it to AGPL-3.0.
Is this correct?
For all those who are requesting ISO8601 dates -- according to the GitHub repo [0] these are already supported:<p>> Dates: A date can be expressed in a few forms. Human readable dates are supported, like 1665, 03/2222, or 09/11/2001, as well as IO8601 dates, like 2031-11-19T01:35:10Z.<p>[0]: <a href="https://github.com/kochrt/markwhen" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kochrt/markwhen</a>
Maybe I'm skimming over this too quickly... but what part of this is like markdown exactly? The monospace font?<p>Does seem potentially cool and useful though.
Very interesting. Why is there work inside of the education sections of the life timeline? In the project planning example, I could see it being useful to have something like $ref references from Swagger to e.g. reference a duration from a project group into the overall section.
As mentioned in a Github issue, would love to store the Markdown file in my code repository (roadmap) and the markwhen server to deploy hosting the file to my static domain when I deploy my code.<p>Other than that, you are making amazing progress! And fast also.
Crazy, I <i>just</i> had this idea last week. Although I was imagining a “mermaid for roadmaps”, so closely related but not exactly the same. This looks really cool though!
nice! i have been using a combination of org-mode / taskjuggler to produce gantt so far. Bit this looks nice and could be use for simpler use cases.
