I believe that's what http://www.kachingle.com/ is trying to do.

FYSA: There's a "Print" option on the timelines that let you print a list of the events.

Yeah. Plus, creating an account takes like 20 seconds and eventually there will be OpenID support too.

Negative. Preceden is about four months old from the first line of code to now (I started on the flight back from Startup School).

Yeah, sorry about that. It's the first time the site's gotten enough traffic to cause any issues, plus the examples page is pretty resource intensive. It's time to work on some optimization. Edit: Since this is using Heroku, I just cranked

It's not just a matter of protection -- how do you work on it a day or two from now? One way to do it would be to generate a long, random URL that you can use to get to and dedit your timeline. Anyone who has that URL can contribute to that

One of the next major iterations will include an API, which a few folks have asked for.

I checked it out and see what you mean. I'll look into it -- thanks.

Actually, this does solve it for the most part (or so I thought). Whenever you release the mouse, an invisible text box will be selected via some JavaScript, which deselects any text that was selected while dragging it. It's not perfect, bu

Preceden, a startup I launched on HackerNews about a month ago, has been doing fairly well. One of the common requests was an Examples page, so I put this together. It shows a few different types of timelines you can make using Preceden.

What's the difference between "leveling up" and rising in a meritocracy? Ideally in any organization those talented enough to run it will rise to the top and "level up". If education and training help you achieve that, what's the problem?

Preceden, a site I launched on HackerNews two weeks ago ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1114834 ) has received a lot of traffic recently due to traffic from tech news sites. The newness factor is wearing off though and with that the n

Briefly: 1. Ruby on Rails/Heroku/jQuery 2. 3 months. See http://preceden.com/timelines/5-preceden 3. Nights and weekends 4. I'm using AdWords at the moment, not necessarily because I'm hoping it will bring in a lot of users, mostly becaus

Great feedback. Regarding the logo, I used CrowdSpring to run a design contest. In total, it costed $230. I'm really happy with it. I originally was leaning towards a different one, but HN helped set me straight ( http://news.ycombinator.co

I'm waiting for someone to build it so I can feature it on the front page. In time...

Someone else recommended a "fit" zoom level, which would place them all on your screen at once at just the right resolution. I think it's a good idea too. Reordering events so that you can change the order they are rendered might be possibl

Eventually the dates will be dynamic, so you can base the start of one event on the start or end of another event, which opens up a lot of possibilities.

API down the road for sure.

i wanted to see the times of events already up there to help me enter new event times. I want the same thing. I was waiting for someone else to validate it. Thank you. I'm not sure if its a good or a bad thing, but I haven't played with a

Imagine a timeline for every major event that ever happened in the history of the universe. I wonder if that would be valuable? :)
