This is neat! It reminded me of this project by cheeaun that enables one to create a visual timeline based on a simple texted based format. The purpose was to plot one's life events in a visual way.

https://github.com/cheeaun/life

Sample file (from the repository):

    @USERNAME's life
    ===============

    - 24/02/1955 Born
    - ~1968 Summer job
    - 03/1976 Built a computer
    - 01/04/1976 Started a company
    - 04/1976-2011 Whole bunch of interesting events


That is a great project! I wonder if anyone has created a visualization that uses a "life in weeks" format (like https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html) rather than a linear horizontal timeline.


Rory Codes made a "life in days"[1] (which I shamelessly copied for my own amusement[2])

[1] https://days.rory.codes

[2] https://git.rjp.is/rjp/daysgo


https://newsletter.pnote.eu/p/life-in-weeks and it's interactive (you can make your own timeline)



What a depressing site!
