as that notepad shows, I was really aiming for total 100% inclusion of all MaidSafe’s history, actions, blog entries, video releases, etc etc, and then have it so you can expand and dive into each year/month/day on the timeline as granularly as you wanted to
So it really is a cool project if anyone wants to fork it, change backgrounds, fill in things, etc. Would be a great resource for everyone to have on the side
Perhaps make it clearer in the readme what you’re looking for from contributors. I found the html as it stands is a bit daunting. Perhaps have the events in a generic format (maybe as a .json array) and then render them using a template. I know static html is sometimes better than javascript, but there’s a lot of non-content text to type out when using static html.
Also is this a MaidSafe timeline or a Safe Network timeline? Or in this case are they essentially interchangable? I think the difference between the two is important and should be used consistently.
Looking forward to seeing this grow, it’s really cool.
Great! Thanks very much! Just approved & merged it! Very awesome work!!
Definitely, this part needs cleaning up. I was making shorthand code notes when I was really working daily on this, because there’s certain < tr> tags and such for each tier of the timeline that open/close, but I haven’t touched the code here for so long now. I’m sure it would come back, but it’s still a side project right now
Really leaning more this way. I don’t think that SAFE is very far removed yet from MaidSafe at all at this point.
In my mind, SAFE will only be it’s own thing once we have lots of groups updating / maintaining it, far after launch. So for now and the foreseeable future I definitely think that only a MaidSafe timeline makes sense
Thanks! Me too! it’s great for those moments of doubt like, “Dang, all this time has passed and still no SAFE Network!! WTH??” Because something like this can remind you of all the amazing things / breakthroughs / tests / events that have happened and are still happening along the way
The next most important update would be making it as readable as possible. Just tried it on mobile and the timeline shows up as extremely tiny.
Even on desktop the print is quite small and blends into the background. I think this is the most important thing to fix next. Then making it easy to add content is next up.
For now if anyone wants to add things into the timeline just do a pull request on the notepad like @mav or tell me things to paste into it
