I've been building this over the past year or so in my spare time. My main job is as a freelance web developer. The aim was to create some timeline software that was easy to use and offered quite a bit of customization.

Here's a couple of timelines that have been created with the software:

Awesome. looks great. The time line control.. did you create it from scratch or did you use a plugin?

Pretty much the whole site was created from scratch using Javascript, CSS, HTML and a smattering of HTML5 for the front end.

Most of this was written in-house by but we did use the odd bit of open source JS, for the color picker. Plus, we used jQuery for some of the animations and for its great dom selector engine.
