Sadly, I am not aware of any modern tool that does what exhibit does.  Obviously, I have a very clear sense of how to build one, if we could find the resources to do so.  We are working on a new research project, http://mavo.io/ , that does a lot of amazing things but does not yet supersede

Timeline JS seems useful: https://timeline.knightlab.com Here's an example: https://timeline.knightlab.com/examples/user-interface/index.html However, if the desideratum is to separate the data layer from the visualization layer I don't see that Timeline JS does that. -Jodi On Mon, Mar 15, 2021

Simile Timeline is 13 years old and has never been modernized. If nothing better has been created in the past 13 years, that's a sad indication of the state of modern software.   The primary reason for the continued existence of Simile Timeline is its use as a component in Simile Exhibit.

Hola Luis, Thanks for asking. My intention is to build a server application which has the capability to display massive timelines. I am left with this question, given that the documentation pages don't exist for the recent version, only the previous version: what, really, is the point of
