This looks great, have you ever thought about open sourcing it?

CSS and JS layout is a mess full of hacks, but I thought about cleaning up and open-sourcing for more general uses. One day (:

Please, don't go that route. Rather, make this reusable for others right now (by making it Free Software), and accept help from outside for the cleanup.

To put this in Eric S. Raymond's words:

Release early, release often!

I hereby declare all original code on http://lemonlabs.co/timeline.html as licenced under MIT, (c) Jonas Lekevicius.

...it's just that code there is compiled from CoffeeScript, concatenated, uglified and so on. Others will have very hard time exploring it.

Thanks Jonas. Unfortunately I think vog is right. It was be awesome if you FOSSed the original source.

I doubt this is of any help for anyone, without having access to the actual source code (and having that licensed as FOSS).

Nevertheless, thanks for trying.

You are completely right. But doing more requires more time, and that I only can promise One Day™.
