Who I am is also, or mostly, defined by the events which marked my life even before my birth:
Zig is a social network where people share dates which are significant to them. It is named in honor of Zigmunt Bauman, great historian and sociologist.
A profile is made by the important milestones in both his/her life and in history in general. To put it briefly and simply, Zig is a social medium
Zig should:
- share dates of both historical and personal events
- integrate with ActivityPub and therefore join the Fediverse
- collect other
- integrate with Nolan, and be its “public front-end”
mine
As my personal kind-of timeline, I am currently using a combo of different solutions that I dream about somehow integrating together, one day:
- Within [Obsidian], I track notes creation and modification dates thanks to the awesome Chronology plugin
- In tommi.space, I track changes through a super-minimal changelog
Tools
Examples
Add a timeline like Jeremy Gordon’s or jack.works
- CSS Timelines examples
- more promising ones:
- https://codepen.io/ArnaudBalland/pen/rLeQgd/ (uses JavaScript)
- https://codepen.io/triss90/pen/GqRKeW/
- https://codepen.io/chriswrightdesign/pen/XJzNBN/, the prettier one (it has no dedicated space to dates)
- https://codepen.io/P233/pen/lGewF/
- https://codepen.io/rprajapatii/pen/AXoWyd (animations with JavaScript)
- https://codepen.io/NilsWe/pen/FemfK
- https://codepen.io/allisonching/pen/XeLjGd (simple minimal horizontal)
Naming
Alternative name ideas:
- Aby, in honor of Aby Warburg (see Mnemosyne)
Elsewhere
- Timeline with relevant dates (object creation/modification/content age), on [Anytype]’s community
- Organizing all notes in the graph as a timeline, on [Obsidian]’s forum
