Allowing the timelines to be extended both horizontally and vertically.

I think this is very nice overall. The option to input pictures and the automatic input of the event on the correct area of the timeline. I just wish there was a way to make the entire date show on the timeline instead of just the year. Thank you!

Good concept. Has potential but still too early to tell. Very basic feature-wise, layout-wise.
• Event editing could be more interactive.
• No typesetting features to speak of.
• No ability to import event list from, or export to CSV
• Event editing pane is incredibly glitchy in Chrome. UI elements jumping around and resizing on mouse over. Almost unusable.
• Lacks SVG, PDF output
• Would do well with Google Docs integration.
• Items should order themselves unless directed to do otherwise, and parser should recognize common nomenclature like '2020 Q1'. -

The timeline feature was very limiting. I could not change the size of the font, move the points on the timeline, or show my full description. It is just one rectangle of space, which is not enough room. It would be better if you could grow the timeline feature out in either direction so there is more room to work with and can be scrolled along.

Need to be blue to resize the page or manually adjust how they are displayed. Love the concept, but need to be able to upload to the cloud to continue with it in your other apps.

You can't move description boxes. Useless for me as a History teacher.

Very useful tool, except text cannot be resized to fit.

Fantastically simple timeline creator. The only thing that could make it better would be if you could change the colors of the numbers. Cheers!
Update: After I clicked download, the png only shows a black background with red lettering and red dots at each "event" on the timeline...No images are visible and no text...Perhaps it might be better if you are given the option to save as a PDF upon download. Thanks

A whole lot of details don't come out when you download the png file. It's pretty useless to me like this.

How do we export or share our timeline? I downloaded it but it comes out as a PNG? None of the information I entered is displaying. What's the point of this solution? If we cant share it or download a PDF or a file that can actually be used, its not worth much!

Great idea and a useful tool, in the future. Here is some feedback:
1. The event menu has major issues with scrolling and selecting after 6+ events have been created. This makes it painful to navigate the events after they have been created.
2. I like how you have designed this to fit on one page, however, it is no use if you can't read what you have written. The program crushes the text and adds "...". The different formats also make this better/worse depending on which one you choose but there is no perfect option that shows everything.
3. There should be some way for the timeline to "order itself". This is an added complication with the poor functionality of the event menu as discussed in 1.

The icons I selected never show up on the timeline. And the font of the description is too small.

Nice start, but I need to be able to make font larger/smaller and move text to make reading easier. Descriptive font faded out in the downloaded version of the timeline. I saved the timeline as a picture and the font was visible (but much smaller than I needed).

I am no very happy with the fact that I cannot see all the information I entered in the description box. There is no word limit and then all the rest of the information is cut off in the final product. Please fix it if possible.
Thank you

please add a tool to put in text boxes or have a thing like a undertitle which is placed under the title so you can write something descriptive
