An interactive timeline showcasing all the books I have read (or at least, the books I can remember reading)


Not quite the same but we created a timeline ordering game for US presidents: https://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/1842261/US-Presiden...

You can also use our app to create timeline ordering games on subjects of your own choosing.


That's weird. It works perfectly for men much older computers and also on my M2 Mac Pro. What version of OSX are you using? I created that product, btw.


Not OP, but on Firefox 132, Sonoma 14.4, M1 Pro, it's quite janky. It's less so on Chrome and Safari, but it's still noticeable.


On a 3,2 GHz 6-Core i7 Mac Mini with Safari it also feels very laggy and unpleasant to use.


Ha! That's my product. Thanks for mentioning!


I used a similar technique to create glass-like panels with my online timeline maker (https://www.chronoflotimeline.com). You can see an example timeline with glass-like panels here: https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/timeline/shared/3118/Home-...


Man this is cool... Is your lib opensource?


Do you mean a list of all monarchs in the world?


Yes. But the link shared by @ttyprintk is better than what I had hoped for.


Thanks for the tip. I will take a look.


Otherwise, I love this. Maybe leave QEII overshadowing Charles.

A nice list. I've always had a nostalgic attachment to the classic "Histomap". The rise and fall of the various cultures is well expressed.

First infographic I ever saw, way back in the late 90s. Ah, memories.


I posted this a year and a half ago but got no response. Trying again now as RoughJS is currently trending, and there might be some interest. Would love to know what people think of hand-drawn style timelines.

Credit to Preet Shihn (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=shihn) for creating the RoughJS library (https://roughjs.com) that enabled us to achieve the "hand-drawn" look for the timelines.


Fantastic library. I used it to create beautiful hand-drawn style interactive timelines. See https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/blog/entry/hand-drawn-time...
