About TimelineJS
TimelineJS is an open-source tool that enables anyone to build visually rich, interactive timelines. Beginners can create a timeline using nothing more than a Google spreadsheet, like the one we used for the Timeline above. Experts can use their JSON skills to create custom installations, while keeping TimelineJS's core functionality. Keep it short. We recommend not having more than 20 slides for a reader to click through. Pick stories that have a strong chronological narrative. It does not work well for stories that need to jump around in the timeline. TimelineJS can pull in media from a variety of sources. Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Vine, Dailymotion, Google Maps, Wikipedia, SoundCloud, Document Cloud and more! Build a new Google Spreadsheet using our template. You'll need to copy the template to your own Google Drive account by clicking the "Make a Copy" button.

Boromlia
Boromlia is timeline software for research, projects and family history. Enter each event once with its date, place, photos, sources and notes. The same record then draws different ways: timeline, ribbon, map, cards, spans, doc and a sortable table. Nothing is re-entered, and readers switch view in one click.
People build family histories with a photo on every milestone, sourced chronologies of news events and investigations, history lessons that show time and place together, trip records, case and project histories, and company milestone pages.
Private by default, no ads, nothing to install, works on phones. The free plan holds one timeline with 20 events. Slots cost $2.99 once, or $12 a month for unlimited timelines, bulk import, sharing and embeds.

Novel Goggles
Novel Goggles is a web application that writers can use to plan or analyse their writing projects (fictional short stories, novels or book series), including the structure of their novel, description of characters and character development, world building, pace and tension, story arcs and the story timeline. In comparison to the competition, Novel Goggles provides a more comprehensive perspective of the user's creative writing projects. This is done by allowing the user a view of their creative world building and character development, integrated with a view of the overall technical structure of their novel. The narrative timeline is then integrated into this perspective, allowing the user a full view of the creative and technical aspects of their work and how this evolves over the timeline of their story. In summary, the user is provided a view that merges the creative and analytical view of their novel and shows how these elements evolve over the timeline of the story being told.
