Show HN: Spreadsheet Timeline (my weekend project)
- albert_e 5y agoThat's a wonderful tool. Great and thanks for sharing! I often make these same timelines in excel manually and paste them into a powerpoint. I am curious to know the tech stack you used -- or if you have a github for scourcecode.
- daltonlp 5y agoThanks for the kind words! I am working on a writeup with some development details. Here is the stack: • Alpinejs as a framework • Chrono for date parsing (try typing "next Tuesday" into the date input) • Dayjs for date formatting and operations. • flatpickr for the date picker • xslx-populate for export. There are a LOT of JS->excel utilities out there. • Tailwind for styling. • No back-end, no database. All static files. The code is in a private git repo. Don't let that stop you from looking at it with view-source. It's literally two files :)

- perilunar 5y agoLooks very nice, but US date format will limit use for many. Needs an option for DD/MM, (or ISO-8601).
