> Dates: A date can be expressed in a few forms. Human readable dates are supported, like 1665, 03/2222, or 09/11/2001, as well as IO8601 dates, like 2031-11-19T01:35:10Z.

  Life - a timeline of important events in my life

I'm glad you're here to see it!

So cheeaun here posted his life timeline project[0] 9 years ago (!) to hacker news[1] and I always thought it was pretty neat. I made a tool to make timelines like that and it has since evolved into markwhen.
