Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is TimeGlide?
TimeGlide is a powerful personal timeline builder that allows you to map out events, down to the second, over a 5000 year period. You can then change the time period shown by zooming in and out, to understand event context and relation.
Who is TimeGlide designed for?
TimeGlide is ideal for anyone that wants to map events over time visually. This could be people trying to better understand history; for educators trying to give better temporal context to events; for teams planning future projects; for creatives looking to organise their work; and more!
How does TimeGlide work?
Once logged into the platform you have the ability to create and modify events on a timeline. These events can either represent a single moment, or can be ‘duration’ events, which have a start and end date. You can add images and embed video within the events and then filter and search within them too.
Can I upload images and videos to my events?
Currently you can upload your own images and are able embed to videos from external video hosting like Youtube, within your events.
Is the timeline pre-populated with events?
The timeline comes pre-populated with a (relatively) small number of events to demonstrate functionality. You are of course free to edit or delete these events.
I have notes that I want to upload and have displayed on my timeline, is it possible?
Yes, but the notes will need to be adapted to include the syntax that is used by the timeline to display them at the correct position.
Is it possible to collaborate on a timeline or share it?
At the moment it is not possible to collaborate directly within the app on a timeline, however there is nothing stopping two or multiple people sharing and combining their .md files to build a timeline. Collaboration is something we will look at in the future, as well as timeline sharing.
What do you do with my data or events that I create?
We do not read or mine your data. Your events are yours.
Can I safely upload sensitive data?
We do not recommend this as this time. Whilst we do not mine your events or data or use them for any other purpose, they are currently stored in plain-text. We plan to support event encryption in the future. If this is a killer for you let us know and we will try and get to it sooner!
Can I export all my events?
Absolutely. All events are recorded in plain text with Markdown formatting (.md files) and we make it very easy to export all your data, at any time.
Is the app mobile friendly?
At the moment we have not optimised the site for mobile or tablet devices but it is something that we will look at in the near future.
What is the prelaunch offer?
In order to get feedback before a wider release, we're offering free sign ups for the first 20 people that create an account. The free access will last for at least two years. The only thing we ask is that you willingly share your feedback with us, on an occasional basis.
