This is neat! It reminded me of this project by cheeaun that enables one to create a visual timeline based on a simple texted based format. The purpose was to plot one's life events in a visual way. https://github.com/cheeaun/life Sample file (from the repository): @USERNAME's life =============== - 24/02/1955 Born - ~1968 Summer job - 03/1976 Built a computer - 01/04/1976 Started a company - 04/1976-2011 Whole bunch of interesting events
In Show HN: Markwhen: Markdown for Timelines

Hey that's me! Wow it's nice to know that my old post/project is still being mentioned now :D I'm no longer adding features to Life [1]. There were too many feature requests for something that I want to be simple. I'm still updating my own Life events [2] tho' Two questions/notes: 1. You sort of use a striped-down Markdown(?) format, any reason for that? I use Markdown because it's also can be human-readable in some way, even though I don't really use a legit Markdown parser :P 2. Your date range format seems slightly different than mine. Maybe you need to document that somewhere :) [1] https://github.com/cheeaun/life [2] https://cheeaun.life/

> Take physical pictures of excursions and life events, and date them I have the same awful autobiographical memory. I've been sorting a collection of photos from the past few years with ExifTool [0]. It's been eye-opening to be able to click through folders sorted by year and month to see what I was doing. I'm hoping to combine this with some notes into a neat visual timeline tool called Life [1]. [0] https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ [1] https://github.com/cheeaun/life
