timeline for writers
essays, newsletters, drafts that never shipped. one home for the work and the thinking behind it — in the order it happened.

writers don't need another feed
substack optimises for newsletters. medium optimises for clicks. twitter optimises for attention. none of them give you a permanent, scrollable record of what you've written, when, and why. timeline is a writing CV that reads like a reading list.
what you get
every piece, with its link
entries carry inline hyperlinks. drop in a link to the published version, a notes dump, or a paywalled piece — timeline renders a clean card.
drafts count
the piece you didn't publish is still part of your writing life. mark entries as private drafts or show them publicly with a tag.
imports your body of work
upload a résumé or a portfolio PDF. every writing credit becomes an entry with its date and link preserved.
a URL editors can actually read
lifetimeline.io/yourname. chronological. current. reads in 60 seconds. better pitch than a google doc.
common questions
does it support images and embeds?
yes — each entry can hold images, video, and rich link cards with preview title + domain.
can i migrate from substack or medium?
paste URLs in bulk and timeline will build cards from them. posts stay hosted where they are; timeline is the index.
what if i want a section that isn't chronological?
toggle portfolio view for a category-first presentation (essays / fiction / talks). same content, different surface.
can readers subscribe?
not yet — timeline is intentionally not a feed. it's a home, not a stream. RSS is on the roadmap.
