timeline creator tool #16

Timelines are incredibly useful in certain domains, especially forensics.

There should be an open source library where a non-technical user can input timeline data in a simple text format and the tool creates an interactive timeline for that data.

I got this idea while reading a Harry Bosch book where the main character (a police detective) deconstructs the timeline of a crime.

Some quick searching shows that there is an open source tool called ChronoZoom, which does not seem super accessible to non-technical users (like a detective or forensic investigator).
