Hi Bernhard,
I don't mean to needlessly draw out this discussion, but I think it would
help if you were more specific - there are a lot of timeline JS libraries
out there, and it would be good to know what people consider the most
important features. What do you mean by "modern style" - the use of colors?
A bigger display?
By "responsiveness", do you mean that Exhibit Timeline can be slow to
scroll? I hadn't noticed any particular slowness, but it might depend on
the number of points loaded.
