Field notes
The homepage describes a layered event model: zooming reveals events nested inside larger ones, while less important entries can shrink when a lane gets crowded. A gap-cut option shortens a long empty span and marks the skipped time. The page also lists PNG, PDF, and CSV exports, with PDF sizes including Letter, A4, Tabloid, and A3; it says timelines remain in the browser until the user signs in.
