David, Thanks for that context.
Ii was familiar with the entire Simile projects when it was first announced at MIT; even built some stuff with it - "way back when". Today, I'd like to see it work with JSON, but maybe that's just me. I'm wondering if there exists enough energy to begin modernizing Timeline. My own use case is that of a timeline browser, the events on which are topics in a crowd-curated topic map. I'd like to push the technology. -Jack On Sun, Dec 20, 2020 at 9:41 AM David Karger <[email protected]> wrote: > Simile Timeline is 13 years old and has never been modernized.
