A new release is out, v0.0.28, which addresses a lot of issues reported in the last week. Thank you for contributing!

If you want to get involved with the project, we'd be happy to collaborate on issues and features!

v0.0.27 has been released, which fixes a few bugs reported over the last few days, and improves import performance in some cases. Thanks to everyone who is trying it out and giving feedback!

This project has a *30* *minute* tour video and I watched the entire thing, riveted: https://t.co/lWLkwiD1fH Several years ago I got in contact with @mholt6 about @timelinize. I had worked on @PerkeepOrg and @attic, which had similar goals, so we had a lot to discuss. All of

It's been restored! Hurray.

The irony of this is not lost on us

PooTube has removed our intro video due to "harassment and cyberbullying" despite that everything shown is randomly-generated fake data. We've sent an appeal but it's just a button-click, no way to explain this to @TeamYouTube

Thanks for the successful soft-launch on HN this week! Over 600 votes is encouraging the project is going the right direction.

Linux ARM 64 builds and containers are now available.

HN Discussion happening now:

Many nights and weekends over the course of 10+ years, and it's finally ready to show you. Still in the "proof of concept" stage, so expect some rough edges!

Our new website is live! https://t.co/6EBTmdgWRf

Might've just unlocked 100x speedup by optimizing a query in a hot path during imports. Or might've just introduced a bug. Testing will tell!

Notice how the file being imported is inside a zip archive. No need to extract your archives first. (Unless it's tar.gz, I recommend extracting those.)

Got a million things in your life? No problem. Timelinize can organize them. (New website and video demos coming soon.)

Soon, you'll be able to customize imports. This is helpful for updating items and avoiding duplicates. For example, in this screenshot, we might combine photo libraries from both Google and Apple in this way to avoid duplicates and keep the highest-quality data.

I’ve just updated builds and docs for @timelinize. The updated instructions should make it much easier to get started:

We've improved DB performance by batching inserts, deleting unnecessary indexes (almost all of them, in fact), and using transactions. The overall import process is pipelined maximize I/O concurrency separately from DB writes.
