Use Timeline.js to build a timeline! With thanks to the Knight Lab at NorthWestern University.

While you can use a spreadsheet to build your timeline as per the docs, here's a sample of how to build your timeline using JSON.

Run this website locally:

1. Make sure you have Node.js installed.
2. Fork this repo and place it on your local machine in a folder.
3. Using the command line, CD (change directory) to the folder: cd myTimeline.
4. Use http-server to quickly start up a local server; from your code's folder run npx http-server. You should see a timeline of Whitney Houston's amazing and tragic life.

Build your own JSON structures for a new timeline, following the docs.
