It would be good to have an update on the web version. That said, there is an active beta for the offline version 3.5. In my view, the features would justify releasing it as version 4; it’s that good.
Thanks for everyone’s continued interest. The collaborative web version is definitely still planned, and it’s something we’re very excited about.
Right now, we’re fully focused on testing and releasing Aeon Timeline 3.5. Many of the features in 3.5, like customizable tabs, are foundational pieces we need in place before a web version can work the way we want it to. Once 3.5 is released, we’ll be able to shift more attention towards the web side of things.
A feature I’d like is a way to expand the edit window for a multi-line notes field. It would be nice to have a way to wax poetic about an event in a conveniently sized window, even nicer if I could open a multi-line text property in the editor of my choice.
Though perhaps we’re swerving off-topic for this thread, if you haven’t already read it, you might enjoy reading What Aeon Timeline could be. I argued for adding a writing tool to Aeon Timeline: “The key is to stop thinking of Aeon Timeline as a ‘timeline’ tool and develop it and market it as an integrated writing and plotting environment.” This idea has gone nowhere, at least, so far. But I can dream, can’t I?
Good thoughts. I guess the things I’ve always thought about would make AT more capable in terms of knowledge management.
Pretty natural I would think in those terms. I crave that kind of system.

I see that AT 3.5 is out now, or imminently so, based on the announcement I received.
So, just following up on this note from November – does this mean the collaborative sharing capability for LARGE projects is forthcoming? And, if so, will it be the long-awaited replacement for the missing AT 2 export functionality that disappeared in AT3?
Thanks for the update.
Hi,
With 3.5 released, we will be looking towards the web side of things this year, which will include the replacement for the web export functionality of version 2.
It is too early to give an estimate of when this will be available though.

Great. Thanks for the update.
So, another 1,5 - 2 years then… as a minimum…
Hey, could we elevate the dialogue a bit? The team has just released a significantly improved version of Aeon Timeline. Let’s celebrate, shall we?
I appreciate your willingness to focus first on the desktop version of Aeon Timeline before moving to the web version. I know you made this decision based on user feedback, so THANK YOU for seeing to that first. I especially appreciate (and use) the new custom tabs; they’re a game-changer for many of us. I hope you take the time to celebrate your accomplishments!
