Yes, absolutely moreso than a demo that is faked.

On the contrary, I think it's even better to use real data instead of fake data. Using fake data looks tacky and unprofessional.

Yeah, I did actually pursue this for a time (heh), but I might revisit it later. It was too much complexity for debateable value-add, though the value is growing on me.

Bookmarks are bookmarked at a specific time. Contacts are already handled as first-class concepts in Timelinize, known as "entities". Entities don't have timestamps, but they have a name and attributes that can be anything, a

Just fixed that. Thanks. You can download the latest CI artifact for the patch (the link is on the Install page in the docs).

Yep, I encountered the same problem. Initially it was solely API-based, but as they got locked down and paid-only and removed entirely, I went the bulk download route.

Thanks man! Good to see you here. Nice suggestion, I have a list on a text doc here, I'll add this one :)

Got a lot of feedback here so far, plenty to keep me busy. And there will be an import API to let scripts/programs push data to Timelinize, even if it doesn't support those data sources built-in.

Yeah, big fan of Perkeep. I think it's well-engineered. (Better than Timelinize probably! Just missing some important features for me.)

They are just organized into folders on disk, so that could definitely work!

Yeah, years ago I did some study of HPI. :) Timelinize's data sources are easily extensible so adding more shouldn't be too hard, HPI included. Thank you!

Well, I don't plan on 1:1 feature parity with NextCloud or any comprehensive cloud suite. But I think in terms of what was mentioned: "storing all my documents and books and documenting when I added, opened, edited them. I want it

Oh it actually does support audio files :) Haven't tested them in a couple years but a player should appear.

As far as I know, yes. ("Original" is a strong word, but it's pretty close if you don't have space saver enabled / pay for storage.)

Correct, Timelinize is not a backup utility, but having the copy of your data in your timeline acts as a backup against losing access to your data sources, such as Google Photos, or your social media account(s), etc. As opposed to simply

That's not really aligned with my vision/goals, which is to bring my data home; but to be clear, downloading your data doesn't mean it has to leave the cloud. You can have your cake and eat it too. The debate between importin
