J is for Jump, and other updates

I wanted to go over two and a half updates that I have not yet written about in the new UI: jumping, autosave, and collaborative editing.

And we're back!

First off, sorry for the long lull between updates. I recently moved, had covid, and got my finger infected all in the past month. But all that should be behind us now; update cadence should improve.

Frontend update

markwhen/markwhen

Work is ongoing for a new foundation for markwhen, that will be the new basis for the website and allow markwhen to be integrated into other editors, notably initially VS Code. Aside from supporting other editors, the new version is an upgrade from vue 2 to vue 3 and will have better mobile support, among other things.

Cascade.page is now Markwhen.

I kept comparing cascade.page to markdown ("markdown for timelines," "create timelines from markdown-ish text", stuff like that), and having a .com is better, so I started looking, and got markwhen.com .

More casual dates and times

Markwhen now supports more casual dates like Jan 5 2022, 4 December 1991, or June 4 2021 4pm. These can be used both as start and end times; all of the following are valid:

\Jun 4 8am - 9pm: All day event

Pages and drag & drop

You can now edit event start and end dates from the timeline instead of doing it in text. Changes will be reflected back to the text.

Relative Dates and Percents

You can now create events using relative dates like "3 days" or "6 weeks" or "2 minutes 3 seconds." Refer to previous events or calculate durations without needing to look at a calendar.

Sorting and groups

There's now a button to sort whatever timeline you're viewing, regardless of how it was written. Click the sort button to toggle between ascending, descending, and the original order.
