I’ll second this. OP lists a few reasons that someone might theoretically want to create a timeline, but not why a random site visitor would. That 10 out of thousands of visitors want to create a timeline actually doesn’t strike me as odd, not because timelines are bad but because very few people need one.

If you started a site that advocated for, say, jumping rope as exercise, 10 out of thousands of visitors might go pick up a jump rope. You’re providing something that the vast majority of visitors don’t need.

If you want a higher adoption rate, either:

- solve an acute problem - something that many visitors woke up thinking they need to do today.

- come up with a specific compelling reason/use for a timeline. Not app features, but things I can do with a timeline - solve a problem. Focus on the strongest one. Dumb example: maybe the best use of a timeline you can think of is for someone to put it their resume or applicant portfolio. Once you’ve picked one or two, if you actually believe they’re compelling, focus on those.

- or get much more targeted visitors, like only those few people who are actively looking to create a timeline.
