Anyone have insight into how they built this? Custom Gantt solution or you think they bought one?
There are no good and free JS gantt libraries, but many, many paid ones. I've been trying to find a good one for Portabella (https://portabella.io https://portabella.io) as they're an essential part of project management platforms, but no luck yet.
- jitl 6y agoWe build this ourselves. It's React with little in the way of 3rd-party "magic".
- daltonlp 6y agoYou're right, there are no good and free JS libraries for gantt charts (or even timelines). It is a non-trivial problem domain. I know, because I helped build a product (https://peachyplan.com https://peachyplan.com) much like Notion's timeline view :) The notion team did a phenomenal job. This is one of the best timeline views I've seen, and I've looked at hundreds.

- the_arun 6y agoWe use smartsheets. It has Gantt chart
- uyt 6y agoI also needed something similar but instead of a lack of libraries, I actually remember seeing an overwhelming amount of choices. There are 200+ libraries with the word gantt in it: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=gantt&ranking=popularity https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=gantt&ranking=popularity. And a lot more if you also include calendar timelines like https://github.com/namespace-ee/react-calendar-timeline https://github.com/namespace-ee/react-calendar-timeline. Did you evaluate them and consider all of them to be bad? I ended up building my own because everything looked too flexible for my use case. I only needed basic layout/time tick marks and zoom/pan.
- dbbk 6y agoObviously they built it, it's really not hard
