Life

This is something that I've wanted to build for a long time. It's a timeline of important events in my life, visualized in a way my mind always imagine it. There was something called Lifepath.me but now it's gone. How about Facebook timeline? Meh.

So, this is it. Have a look at cheeaun.life.

Features

• Super simple
• No fancy formatting
• No fancy setup
• No fancy effects
• Flexible datetimes because sometimes you don't remember the exact date of an event

For those who forked the earlier version of Life, these are the steps that I would recommend (requires some Git-fu):

1. Backup your life.md.
2. Reset (hard) your fork to this repo's master branch.
3. Clean up your gh-pages.
4. Re-commit your life.md there.
5. Make sure your master branch is untouched so that future updates work.

How to configure your Life

1. Make a copy of config.example.json, rename it to config.json.
2. Only commit it in gh-pages branch.

The configuration:

• customStylesheetURL - (string, default to null) Path to a custom stylesheet file, for those who doesn't like the default theme.
• yearLength - (number, default to 120) The width of the year grids, in pixels.
• hideAge - (boolean, default to false) Option to hide age from year axis.

Datetime "syntax"

• 2000 - event that happen in that year
• 01/2000 - event that happen in that month/year
• 01/01/2000 - event that happen exactly in that day/month/year
• 2001-2005, 10/2001-02/03/2005 - event that happen within the two dates
• ~2005 - event that happen around the time in that year
• 2005-~ - event that happen from that year and beyond (now).
