It's an interesting concept - an entire timeline can focus on a single theme, unlike Twitter or FB feed.

I can see myself using this as a travel log to share with friends, _if_ I go on an interesting journey (which sadly I haven't done in a long time).

Using it for documenting progress in a hobby is also interesting. I have never done it before, so can't say I'll start now, but still it's a mildly attractive idea.

I don't see myself using this to document my career. Firstly because I don't think there's anything special about mine to document it publicly. Secondly, because it's already documented in personal journals - warts and all - and lessons learned which I don't particularly care to share with anybody. Thirdly, I don't have any great photos or anything to make my career timeline look interesting to other people.

I can't think of any reason why anybody would document their relationships publicly. Do people actually do that?

I think you should focus this product on serving travel and hobbyist communities, and market this to them.

Thanks for the feedback.

We had done a product hunt for valentines day and people have created timelines as we provide a private timeline feature.

Your thoughts on travel and hobby resonate with us and have seen early users using for that purpose. Could you try creating one timeline of your recent travel or a hobby and share us your feedback on creation of timeline. That would help us in improving the product further.

If you can share your email address or initiate a chat on the product we can take the discussion off HN and could serve you better.

TIA
