   Not quite the same but we created a timeline ordering game for US presidents: https://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/1842261/US-Presiden... You can also use our app to create timeline ordering games on subj

   That's weird. It works perfectly for men much older computers and also on my M2 Mac Pro. What version of OSX are you using? I created that product, btw.

   Ha! That's my product. Thanks for mentioning!

   I used a similar technique to create glass-like panels with my online timeline maker ( https://www.chronoflotimeline.com ). You can see an example timeline with glass-like panels here: https://www.chronoflotimeline.com

    I posted this a year and a half ago but got no response. Trying again now as RoughJS is currently trending, and there might be some interest. Would love to know what people think of hand-drawn style timelines. Credit to Preet Shihn ( https:

    Thanks for the suggestion. Mehrgarh is a very important archeological site. But according to wikipedia ancient history has a very specific meaning. If my interpretation is correct, ancient history starts from the beginning of writing or rec

    A few years ago, I thought I'd try to redesign the calendar (as these guys seem to want to do). My innovation was integrating a timeline navigation to allow you to easily animate between months and years. Plus, loads of visual customis

    I have long been fascinated by timeline designs. So this is right up my street. So impressive what these artists of old managed to create without access to computers and design software. For more modern timeline visualisations, you might be

    That's a good idea. We have created one educational timeline on US presidents ( https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/timeline/shared/3114/USA-P... ) but could do with creating a lot more.

    Thanks for taking the time to offer feedback. It is definitely niche-ish. I don't expect this to turn into a billion dollar company. But a few thousand or so paying customers would be nice! I am thinking the following markets: 1. Compa

    I am sure /shownew gets substantially less visits than /show. And /show does not get many. I wouldn't be surprised if the main way that Show HNs end up on the home page is because lots of the developer's friends giv

    I have run a little experiment. Published a Show HN. In the last 30 minutes, I have had around 37 visits via your app. And zero via Hacker News' Show HN page.

    I think Hacker News needs to do more to highlight Show HNs. Lots of them just disappear without trace and with no-one commenting on them. So I like what you have done. It brings some much-needed attention to Show HN.

    Great job - your timeline widget looks really neat. I look forward to seeing how it develops in future. For your interest, there is a small group of hobbyist developers and small companies developing timeline products for the web. As the de
