| Post Print is a homage to the free (as in freedom) and open internet, Aaron Schwartz, and Ted Nelson.
| |
|
| |
|
| Can you edit a text file? You can make a timeline! Post Print turns text files in git(hub) repos into timelines. You can even edit the files using the github website if you don't know how to use git.
| |
|
| |
| Post Print is a set of instructions to crawl and display data from a web of these repos. I've added a basic timeline of technology already.
| |
|
| |
| Other ideas would be to make timelines
| |
| * The life of Aaron Schwartz
| |
| * Portal Community
| |
| * Coronavirus
| |
| * IDW Content
| |
|
| |
| Drop a pull request on the repo or talk to me if you want to add to these or have your own ideas for timelines.

| |
| What's a simple way to collaboratively build a timeline or series of blogposts?
| |
| Host the data as a plaintext file in a accessible git repository.
| |
| Use a 'website' to distribute client side code (react) to query and display the data as a website.
