       Ask HN: Is there a text-based tool to create a timeline diagram?
        
       some tool like https://www.websequencediagrams.com/. but for
       timeline diagram.  This is an example timeline diagram
       (https://mk0trumpexcelrq4mcds.kinstacdn.com/wp-
       content/uploads/2014/06/Milestone-chart-in-Excel-Pic.png). Not the
       Gantt chart

       | 
       | The Pikchr language takes some patience to learn, but there're
       | some useful examples to get you started. Plus, you could ask for
       | help on the Forum.
