About Markwhen
Markwhen is an interactive text-to-timeline tool. It converts markdown-like text into a cascading timeline and supports American and European date styles, ISO8601 dates, images, links and locations. The GitHub repository is the view container, not the web editor; the editor at markwhen.com and the VS Code extension are built on top of it. The web editor is not open source, while other components, including the timeline and VS Code extension, are open source.
