Timeline maker: dates in, a post out.
One line per moment. Dates are sorted, spaced by real time and drawn as a vertical or wide timeline card.
Start from a giant's year
Spaced by time puts long gaps where they really were; the biggest number gets the accent colour.
What makes a timeline worth sharing
Four to eight moments, each one short enough to read at a glance. Put the number that changed next to the date it changed, and let one moment stand out.
Spacing by real time shows the story the dates tell: a quiet stretch, then three things in one month. Even spacing is easier to read when the gaps do not matter. See timelines the giants posted.
Questions people ask
How do I make a timeline online?
Write one moment per line as a date, a bar and what happened, for example 2026-03-14 | Opened the shop. Add a number after a second bar if you want one. The tool sorts the lines by date and draws them as a card you can download.
What date formats work?
Year, year and month, or a full date: 2026, 2026-03 or 2026-03-14. Mixed formats are fine.
