📕 subnode [[@karlicoss/timeline]] in 📚 node [[timeline]]

📓 garden/karlicoss/projects/timeline.md by @karlicoss

Timeline is a simple attempt to display various life events as list. Sort of a simplistic #memex.

Rationale [[timeline]]

`[2018-08-06]` It is useful to answer the question 'what were you doing' lately. Both to other people and yourself

`[2018-08-06]` I need better activity log to tell people about stuff. Hypothesis, goodreads, youtube

use it for some sort of spaced repetition for the previous week/month? [[spacedrep]]

motivation: helps to reflect what you've been doing and thinking
implementing: need some automatic jumping onto last week's entry? or manually is fine

Timeline

use old nomie data, group with gmaps and 4sq [[qs]]

CREATED: [2018-01-16]

Alcohol log meet merge with spending log

need consistent naming for all the alcohol providers

add photos

Actually support all kinds of events on the map. Photos are just one particular context

shazam geolocation

shazam for geolocation

integrations

`[2016-06-10]` sleep data [[sleep]]

rescuetime for sleep data

places

`[2018-08-30]` some progress with location provider

chats

workouts

calendar

photos

I guess makes sense to go thought only sorted photos? or unsorted ones could be in a different feed..

zsh histfile?

dreams

need to display notes content

drinking-log

bring more structure into diary-like items. org + ability to parse!

feed could be in same file, but use tags to project and filter information?

github

misc

google location data: extract fitness data, look on github
exclude running dates to avoid confusion?

go through inspirations maybe?

`[2020-01-21]` ui inspiration: Clemens Scott: "Chronicle is another personal tool I created in an effort to better understand and know myself." <https://merveilles.town/@rostiger/103519643370144222 >

Chronicle is another personal tool I created in an effort to better understand and know myself. It creates a timeline UI from text based data using @neauoire's tablatal format and parser.

huh, very nice encoding ('encrypting'?) to make data appear private while keeping timeline reasonable
https://github.com/Rostiger/chronicle

`[2021-02-09]` https://rostiger.github.io/chronicle

whoa very nice interface (different 'tracks' for different contexts)
could have

environment context
location context
'acitivity' context
body state context (like sleeping?)

however I'm not sure about HTML, probably infeasible? although by-month + last month would be kinda ok
guess the code isn't that complicated though

`[2020-07-31]` https://github.com/OpenGeoscience/geojs

need different layers or something. e.g. display location/music/rescuetime in parallel

add promnesia as source [[promnesia]]

`[2019-04-04]` need to be careful so I don't overlap with existing timeline entries

hmm, for location maybe I should use something custom? Even sort of offline is fine, upload coordinates when you are charging or wifi connected?

open source location tracker [[location]]

then I could disable the google one. I'd own the data and be able to receive it continuously

Mark events as public? [[privacy]]

maybe, for that would be useful to have a backend?

`[2019-04-03]` hm. maybe instead, separate public timeline (which won't have workouts for instance) and private one?

treat commits with same message and date as same? At least visual indication that they are 'merged'

Kudos - this looks like a great project and is fully usable now.
I have a similar project, DL, that's unfinished. Mine revolves around using a custom API in both Rust and REST to aggregate all my digital life events using ActivityStreams 2.0 and extensions to that, in a manner that is decentralized and ranked/categorized through machine learning. I am still working on it and releasing it Open Source is one of this year's goals.
My motivation is that the amount of information I receive from Twitter,Mastodon,Facebook,Reddit,HN,various Stack exchanges,blog postings,etc. has gotten to the point where it's too easy to miss things.
Jeremie Miller, one of the creators of XMPP, had something similar revolving around the Telehash protocol. As far as I can tell, that effort is discontinued, or at least no longer Open Source.

The Database that Syncs!
PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB that is designed to run well within the browser.
PouchDB was created to help web developers build applications that work as well offline as they do online.
It enables applications to store data locally while offline, then synchronize it with CouchDB and compatible servers when the application is back online, keeping the user's data in sync no matter where they next login.

`[2019-08-18]` hmm. could use for timeline? If it keeps items in database, then I can just rely on it and implement pagination?

hmm maybe I want feedly logs in timeline and promnesia? [[hpi]]

`[2019-08-18]` API Reference [[infra]]

Notes: For pagination, options.limit and options.skip are also available, but the same performance concerns as in CouchDB apply. Use the startkey/endkey pattern instead.

Hoodie is a noBackend technology — it's there for making the lives of frontend developers easier by abstracting away the backend and keeping you from worrying about backends. It gives you Dreamcode: a simple, easy-to-learn-and-implement frontend API built into it. Hoodie is also Offline First, which means that your app users’ data is stored locally by default so your Hoodie-based apps are accessible and usable anytime, independent from your users’ internet connection.

However, you also need to take into account that tables can't begin rendering without being completely received, because the table width may change depending on what content is put in it. Additionally, you can't render the next row until the previous one is rendered (otherwise you will either go too large or too small - both cases will cause the page to look off).
