    • I would have tried to buy "timelime.com" - or maybe they did and had to settle for timekiwi.com Either way, great looking app. Good luck.

    • Interesting idea, beautiful timelines. But I can't figure what goes on the left and what on the right. Vertical line implies those are two distinct types of information.
