History timelines

[Spekoralisten]

Both as a student and as someone who’s just really into history, I’m wondering if anyone has come up with a way to make timelines in RemNote?

I’ve been think about using tags to be able to choose one or several categories (politics, culture, etc), and by alphabetical sorting have them coming up in chronological order. So far without success.

Is there a workaround for this, or would a new plugin / feature be needed?

I also miss being able to do that.

I discuss something related to that here if you want to have a look:

More robust date/time system

I have thought about that a while ago as well when I tried to make a calender view (like the Obsidian plugin, or as simple as this https://forum.roamresearch.com/t/how-i-quickly-navigate-in-time/610). For me the problem is basically that there is no way to create a date, neither by paste nor using the API (Ability to paste references to dates/daily notes). If we could paste dates then you could just generate the references (and therefore the daily notes) for all dates using 3 lines of code or …

Yes, I think we’re onto the same thing. I really hope that it can be solved, as it would create amazing opportunities for understanding how seemingly unrelated historic events relate to each other.

Yes! I’m not good at all in remembering times and crossing these historical events. It would be great if we could customize our own timelines
