I was thinking of doing a basic “core-facts” Lovecraft timeline. As a big desktop-based side-scroller timeline for the Web. With three strands running parallel to each other: his life events \/ dates for writing and publication of the works \/ relevant general-history dates. Sadly timeline creation software is still as crap as it was in 2007, the last time I went looking for it in a serious way. The software is either geared toward: genealogists (ugly, fiddly, expensive); arcane computer-coding nerds (ugly, fiddly to install, always in beta); or business owners or schoolkids who just want a dozen items on a dinky little timeline (can sometimes be pretty, but can’t handle hundreds of items \/ side-scrolling \/ slick zooming in-and-out). Anyone have experience of a good timeline software, for the sort of finished Web history timeline that I’m envisioning? I’m thinking I may have to code it in javascript and HTML, as I did in 2007 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
