Creator here - glad to see people like markwhen!
Been working on markwhen for a few years now, originally inspired by cheeaun's life timeline that another commenter posted about.
At this point markwhen is available as a VS Code extension, Obsidian plugin, CLI tool, and web editor in Meridiem.
Some recent markwhen developments:
- Dial, a fork of bolt.new (Stackblitz's very cool tool that leverages AI to help quickly scaffold web projects): an in-browser editor that lets you edit existing markwhen visualizations like the timeline or calendar or make your own. I just released that yesterday so it's still rough but I have big plans for it (it's one of the visualizations in meridiem)
- Event properties: each entry can have it's own "frontmatter" in the form of `key: value` pairs. I wanted this as I'm aiming for more iCal interoperability in the future, so each event could theoretically have things like "attendees" or google calendar ids or other metadata. This was released in the last month or two.
- remark.ing: this one isn't ready yet by any means but it's like a twitter/bluesky/mastodon-esque aggregated blog site. So you write markwhen and each entry is a post. In this way "scheduling" a post is just writing a future date next to it, and you have all your blog in one file. This one is a major WIP
- mturk 2y agoI used Markwhen recently to make an interactive Gantt chart for a proposal to a collaborator and it went swimmingly. (We got the gig!) So, thank you! For the record, I used the Obsidian plugin to develop, then deployed as static HTML.
- doctorhandshake 2y agoSorry if this is a dumb Q but what took that from Markwhen/down to HTML?
- mturk 2y agoNot a dumb question! Markwhen has a CLI: https://docs.markwhen.com/cli https://docs.markwhen.com/cli that I used.
- doctorhandshake 2y agoOh I missed the rendering capability. Thanks for the link!
- Siira 2y agoIf it could output PNG, it could be adapted as a code block with its own language in org-mode.
- maroonblazer 2y agoI skimmed the documentation and didn't see any reference as to whether Markwhen supports dependencies? I.e. MSProject-style make one event dependent on another task ending or starting. Did you need/use that functionality?
- koch 2y agohttps://docs.markwhen.com/syntax/dates-and-ranges.html#relative-dates https://docs.markwhen.com/syntax/dates-and-ranges.html#relat... It doesn't look at task completion but you can base events on other events
- cheeaun 2y agoGreat to see this again. Amazing how this tool expanded so much over the years!
- Brajeshwar 2y agoWhat is the difference between the free and the monthly subscription tier?
- d--b 2y agoLooks very good. Just a note. It was really hard to find how to sign up. EDIT: and I still haven't found how to sign in in the desktop app.
- makach 2y agoCongratulations on your release! I've working on building exactly the same tool but you beat me to it... I cannot compete with this functionality, and completeness. Amazing work!
- jagermo 2y agopretty nifty tool. What license are you using for distribution?
- EarlOfCamden 2y agonice! I've been thinking I will need something like this in Obsidian at some point, good to know it already exists.
- RestartKernel 2y agoRemark.ing sounds incredible. I've been considering building something like Memos but based on Markdown files rather than a relational database for personal use, but this comes really close to what I was looking for. Are you planning to open source it? I couldn't find it on your GitHub.
