Love the visual organization here - the cork board metaphor makes timeline planning feel intuitive. Exporting to CSV is a nice touch for writers who want to move their work into other tools.

Thanks for the feedback :)
The corkboard approach makes a lot of sense for writers who think visually rather than linearly. One thing I'd be curious about: how does it handle non-linear storylines where the same scene needs to appear in multiple timelines? That's usually where planning tools break down for more complex narratives. The demo-before-signup decision is smart too, reduces the friction that kills most tool adoption.

Thanks for the feedback :) Multiple timelines are always challenging to map out and visualize! One of the demo boards has a story spanning multiple timelines. To keep things simple I ensured each chapter/scene was set in one specific time period; these are represented horizontally across the board. But it's entirely possible to have a chapter/scene in two time periods: just have two cards in the same column.
Good one keep it up good

Idea and the corkboard approach is especially good towards writers. However the UI could be better. It seems a bit dated. I know that some people prefer the simplicity but giving an alternative to choose from could be a good move.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what I can do to improve the UI.
