I tend to agree that this probably serves better as an "about me" replacement for someone's own site. I wonder if there's a way to have it generate it as static HTML (cleverly bundling styles too--at worse in an inline <style> tag) that you can then drop into your site? Or, go the embed route so that your service is still in the loop.

I think you might get more friction with the latter approach though. I suggest the former (generate static HTML to drop into any site) that possibly has a subtle footnote with something like "timeline created with aufond.me"

The static HTML idea is awesome! After all, the same timeline used now was a static template I made for me a while back, so that's how it started :)

This somehow fits into the "Offline exporting options" question from the landing page Quiz. Can't wait to extract stats from it!

If you need any help with the static HTML generation with Meteor, I'll gladly lend a hand. It's not rocket science of course, but if you want to save time, I can share code snippets. I hang out in #meteor on IRC as matb33
