In addition to what others have said, I personally would love to see people using the format, so please go ahead!
I'd be interested to see what you're working on!

Exporting to pdf/png does a good job of getting everything into view. Otherwise the 'doc' view (the third view option button in the bottom left corner) might be your best bet, it just displays a list
There are relative dates, so you can refer to previous events when defining new ones: https://markwhen.com/docs#relative-dates
Not right now, but it's something I've been thinking about, in addition to separating the parser out
I'm glad you're here to see it!
So cheeaun here posted his life timeline project[0] 9 years ago (!) to hacker news[1] and I always thought it was pretty neat. I made a tool to make timelines like that and it has since evolved into markwhen.

Yeah, so long form 8601 are supported
`2022-08-02T23:00:00.000Z - 2022-08-03T00:00:00.000Z: Event`

https://github.com/kochrt/markwhen is about a month behind the live website.
The upstream repo that the live site uses is available to sponsors.
I’ve been working on markwhen as a way to easily create timelines just from text.
I’ve used it personally to help plan and coordinate my own wedding (https://markwhen.com/rob/wedding) and for keeping track of life events, and I’ve seen it used for event planning, project management, and to visualize historical events or periods of time.
I personally like tools that let you immediately start using them, and I set out to do that here with markwhen.
Let me know if you have any questions!

I did it differently and incorporate the image into the code pattern itself, instead of having it as the background. It seems to make them more scannable.
