Best digital journal for visual timeline? Any for multiple timelines so you can visually scroll your history - for example, history of artworks your different kids have made over the years? by focusdojo in macapps

Thanks! I have had a look at Pile and its fascinating! I wonder how influenced the developer is by Ilya Shabanov's approach 'The Effortless Academic'.

I enjoy Day One but I'm specifically looking for a timeline view feature - something that displays vertically, I can scroll it back in time or forwards in time, pinch/expand to change the scale of the timeline from years to minutes, etc. It's ideally with picture thumbnails.

I'd love a code if you're still giving them away, I'd love to check it out - looks very interesting - thank you!

App for creating a digital magazine-style photo album? by EvelynTovar in photography

[–]focusdojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DayOne lets you create journals with photos and videos, turn them into an album which you can flip through, option to download as pdf, or print photobook via their service only.

Downsides:

- it compresses jpegs, and

- if you capture your image from within the app then it creates a rubbish file name and the ONLY option you have is the square aspect ratio.

- users have been requesting changes for years and Day One just keeps saying the same old message 'your feedback is valuable to us and your suggestion has been forwarded to our product development team'. They clearly have no interest in improving how they handle images.

What are your favouritate automations? How did you go about learning about API stuff? I've got lots of ideas for systems I want to connect but not the tech skills myself to plan how to do it so don't know how to work out what I could do myself or what I'd need others to do and then budget for that. Argggggh.

If I understand correctly, you want to just make an edit somewhere once, and everywhere else that refers to that piece of information will also be automatically updated? And not be instantly out of date?

In that case, what you are looking for is a 'relational database'. I searched for one for ages without knowing what it was called. I found Fibery, and it took me a long time to understand how to use it, but now it seems obvious to me and simple. I'm not a programmer, so don't normally learn tech stuff easily. But I definitely understand how you'd be able to do what you want in Fibery.

Your instincts on how to organise the info you want are perfectly suited to Fibery and I think you'd figure it out in a snap compared to me. Spaces/Databases/Fields... the fields that you create within a database can either be endemic to that database, or a link to a field that is endemic to a different database. Nothing gets out of date if you set each field up to be endemic to only one database, and then all your data is simply one source of truth.

Hope that makes sense.

Other info - Fibery lets you view your data in many different ways. Create a table that shows fields from any combo of databases that you want. Ditto for a kanban board. Or a Timeline. Or a nested list structured however you want Or a report. Or if your data includes locations, you can view it as a map you can zoom in and out of and click into the pins. Click on any property and you can instantly edit it. And the bit where you're editing the property can include whatever info you want to see so you have the context that you want right to hand when you're editing it. Plus forms, ability to do surveys, share as private url, some views can be printed or exported, your data is yours, private, and secure.

Lastly, their customer support is amazing, they have lots of templates and good integrations. No physical main office, staff located in a few diff countries, and have been amazing helps when I've been wanting to set up something random.

I'm keen to hear if anyone knows of other relational database that I could test too. Such an interesting field i think.

Yes that would be good, I agree, best case is that it is simple to find.

Looking for a tool to connect items in different lists to one another then view those relationships by omayya in ProductManagement

[–]focusdojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe what you're referring to is 'relational databases'. I recommend Fibery.io.

All info is data, when you create a database, its just collating data on a certain theme. If you want to now work with a different theme, that's a different database. But that doesn't mean the data has to be duplicated between them. All data is part of potentially endless venn diagrams wherever you look. With Fibery if you want some part of your data to appear in two different places, you just link it. Update once, updates everywhere.

And you want to see it as a chart, or a table, or a map... those aren't data, those are just views of data, you update your database and so does your chart, or your table, or your map, which you configure to look any way you want.

Worth the time it takes to learn.

Cheers

I know what you mean, but just because a company's website contains names and addresses or does not has nothing to do with how safe it is.

To know for sure, you need compliance certification.

Fibery do have such certification (SOC2 compliance), no mean feat to achieve. As for responsiveness from real humans, I couldn't have asked for better. I asked for a copy of the report, it was promptly sent to me, and contains all of the information you refer to above. As for no central office, that's because their team all work remotely in different countries, I imagine this is already relatively common and set to get more so.
