Build a Timeline

Is the story best told as a chronological narrative?

Use Timeline.js to build a timeline of your story.

  1. Create a new Timeline project
  2. Make a copy of their Spreasheet template to your Google Drive
  3. Drop the dates, titles and links to your photos in the spreadsheet
  4. Change only data in rows. Don’t change or delete columns
  5. Don’t leave any rows blank. Delete any rows you don’t need
  6. Publish the spreadsheet to the web to get a URL
  7. Paste the URL into the Timeline.js project
  8. Publish your Timeline and share the link in the chat
  9. Copy the embed code and paste it into your GitHub docs

Note:

  • You can update the spreadsheet any time and the timeline will update automatically.
  • You can add any kind of link to the timeline including videos, audio, images, etc.

Let’s Discuss:

  1. What worked with that approach?
  2. What didn’t work with that approach?
  3. What would you change to make it better?
