Great idea but after adding ten events it's created a pretty useless timeline. I'm a history teacher and thought it would be great for my students to use, but I won't be telling them to as there are so many big flaws.
1. With ten events, the dates are just shown as years which means you have no idea the actual date of when things happened, which makes it useless for revision or presentation of notes.
2. The titles aren't fully shown, instead there is 'Treaty of Versaill...' which isn't the full title and so makes the timeline pointless.
3. There is no ability to change the size or colour of fonts.
4. You can't seem to save as you go along which could lead to heartbreak.
5. You can't underline the title, which is a must for a teacher!
6. There are some designs but not enough to pick from; or there could be ways in which the user can customise it themselves?
7. You can only put one date. When you want to put an event - like WW2 - you should be able to put two dates to show the range of time that it occurred.
8. It automatically capitalises everything.
9. The dots aren't accurate to where they should be on the timeline. I have two events in 1933 that are days apart but have the same gap between them as another event 6 years later.
10. It's quite clunky having to pick the date manually; it would be awesome if when you selected a year, it changed to month for you rather than you having to switch to month yourself. The option to use the DAY/MONTH/YEAR format would also be very handy for a British person!
Thank you.
