You can find more about the timeline and how my discovery of walking and reading at the same time inspired me to create it here: https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/blog/entry/my-life-in-book...

An interactive timeline showcasing all the books I have read (or at least, the books I can remember reading)

Not quite the same but we created a timeline ordering game for US presidents: https://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/1842261/US-Presiden...
You can also use our app to create timeline ordering games on subjects of your own choosing.

That's weird. It works perfectly for men much older computers and also on my M2 Mac Pro. What version of OSX are you using? I created that product, btw.

Ha! That's my product. Thanks for mentioning!

I used a similar technique to create glass-like panels with my online timeline maker (https://www.chronoflotimeline.com). You can see an example timeline with glass-like panels here:

I posted this a year and a half ago but got no response. Trying again now as RoughJS is currently trending, and there might be some interest. Would love to know what people think of hand-drawn style timelines.
Credit to Preet Shihn (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=shihn) for creating the RoughJS library (https://roughjs.com) that enabled us to achieve the "hand-drawn" look for the timelines.

Fantastic library. I used it to create beautiful hand-drawn style interactive timelines. See https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/blog/entry/hand-drawn-time...

Thanks for the suggestion. Mehrgarh is a very important archeological site. But according to wikipedia ancient history has a very specific meaning. If my interpretation is correct, ancient history starts from the beginning of writing or recorded history, which Mehrgarh predates. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_history
