TimelineJS

What do you like best?

Quality of the resulting timeline. Open source. Very easy to setup. It allows to specify all the parts of the timeline in a Google Sheet.

What do you dislike?

Since its goal is very precise, the core concept is no evolving. Although the source code is well maintained, there are not many news regarding its functionality. It gives options to configure the style.

However maybe it is better this way since KinghtLab (authors of TimelineJS) are proposing other tools (also Open Source) for other or similar goals (for example StoryMap is suitable to create a georeferenced timeline).

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Creating easily a timeline of events, each one with media (video, audito, image) and description.
