Timeline / Calendar Feature
in progress
Alan
Link articles/boards/maps onto a timeline to track time and event.
Titles, Icons, Notes, and an optional Link>Element.
Note from Braden:
I merged in the Calendar feature with this one; I think it's an important part of the UX journey that the calendar and timeline features are gracefully interwoven. Would be really cool to seamlessly switch between the two, navigating between the views as needed, depending on the context.

Should have two calendar options. One can be the “in world” calendar but don’t want to lose the ability to have a “real world” calendar so I as a DM can say “according to my notes from session 2 that was 2 years ago, the tavern’s barkeep’s name is Johan”.
Basically the ability to have a real world calendar to track the players and what happens and when. And then an “in world calendar” that tracks what’s happening in this world you’re creating.

I would really like to have different options for how range events appear on the timeline. Beyond just blocks, ways to indicate events with unclear start or end dates, more gradual events, etc. Being able to select the ends of a block and chose things like gradation or hatching.

Eli Gershenfeld a blur on the edge of a “fuzzy date” would be cool

I read that it won't be as complicated as Fantasy Calendar which I don't mind. I don't really have complicated months, leap days or all of that other witchcraft. I am hoping for moon phases, holidays, eras, and of course (seems kind of it's already included) events. And maybe one day we'll get a nice integration tool!

This is the single feature I want the most. It would be a massive shot in the arm for my group!

Moving this back to pending; going to knock out a few of the smaller but highly demanded features next, like aliases.

It would also be amazing if I could create multiple calendars for the same world, since one of my worlds has three different calendars, but having created a calendar app before I totally understand if that's too much to ask for. =)

Jon Molnar: I may be mistaken but I believe this will be possible based on info already shared
Jon Molnar
Alan: Awesome!

It would be really awesome to have a timeline slider for maps, so you can see how the map has changed over time, similar to the Google Earth Historical Imagery feature.
Gplates might be a good functional reference here, although a much cleaner UI would be welcome. Pins could appear and disappear using start and end dates, or they could change locations over time (would be neat for tracking the movement of characters and ships and such), and ideally the map image itself could also be changed at certain time points. This would be especially neat once map layers land. You could see political borders shifting, empires rising and falling, etc.
