Writing software with timeline generation?

I believe Tinderbox has a timeline view. Very strong community support, but also has a certain learning curve.

On the other hand, I don’t think it takes any knowledge of Tinderbox’s scripting language to create timelines, at least if you don’t need to base your timeline on an automated query.

There are a couple of timeline plugins in the Obsidian community. Obsidian is somewhat outside my experience. The Chronos plugin looks intriguing.

Google Sheets has a timeline feature. Or so I’ve heard. That’s another environment not on my palette.

I use Aeon Timeline. If it supported a generous edit window for event notes, I would use it more.

Please post updates on your software search. It would be great to hear what you find.
