Fourth graders use it Most web apps leaves you scratching your head trying to figure out what to do next. We’ve spent a lot of time trying to make Preceden as easy to use as possible and we’re constantly looking for even more ways to make things easier for you. “If only every product design was as clean and unpretentious as Preceden” – Ric, UK |
| Kind of like a cake. Preceden lets you organize your timeline by grouping similar events together in their own layers. For example, if you were making a timeline about your life, you could have a layer called Locations, another called Relationships, and another called Jobs. “Timelines are excellent for visualizing change over time, but most timeline generators limit you to a single timeline. Preceden features parallel timelines and accompanying charts.” – LifeHacker |
