Thanks for the feedback! Didn't you get a highlight and text banner telling you to either enter a date or select an example? Or do you mean even then it should be more obvious? Was it that the splash screen quote took too long too?

In places it would be considered until 21 (US drinking age, many folks still in university till 21-22)

i don't think time moves faster as we age, i think our perceived duration of early life grows because we keep thinking about it.

for example, i have spent 35 years thinking about the events which took place at age 8, but i have only spent 8 years thinking about the events of age 35.

Are you saying that a better way to measure perceived time is something like "1 year, 2 more years, 4 more years, 8 more years," starting from birth, and maybe call each of those increments a "log year"? I like it.

I guess the "natural" base to use to get the "right" number of increments is a pointless exercise, since it ultimately bottoms out in the question of "why is a regular year as long as it is?", but if we assume a base of 2, I'm currently in my 6th log year, and hope to die comfortably into my 7th. Actuarial odds are >80% in my favor.

Interesting.

Perhaps it would make sense to reverse time from bottom to top. Right now it reflects the standard flow of time, forward, like on a watch. But in reality, our time is only running out.

When you have a timeline going from top to bottom, it feels like it will keep going further, but if you reverse it, you see what's left — without illusion.

Thanks for making this. Genuinely something I needed, but not enough to actually build it. ^^

(Hope this doesn't sound wrong. I believe the "trimming hangnails" is an important and often overlooked job.)

If you open it on another machine / browser you'll have a fresh start. Note that it's serverless. Share URLs serialize layer and period data. You should see layers and periods that you were viewing when you clicked Share.

Noted, thanks. I'll need to get an iPad though...

Time is precious. It's so you get a birds eye view of how you've spent your time, and decide how to spend it next

What platform / browser? Note that if you opened through a shared link you may be in view only mode. If that's the case I'll try making it more obvious

Bug is fixed, request backlogged :)

It should be browser locale/region dependent. You may be able to fix it globally from your browser settings.

I completely understand this. My goal is not making people feel bad, to the contrary. It's so marvelous to me to realize how precious time is.

My grandmother is over a hundred years old. You may have a lot of years to live yet.

It's not a direct import, nor does it connect accounts or anything. It's an extension that lets you gather your profile data. It's just easier than entering each period by hand. I added it for convenience mainly.
