About Preceden

Preceden (pronounced preh-seh-den) is, quite simply, a tool for making amazing timelines. After several months of development, Preceden was launched at the end of January, 2010. The product you see today, which is constantly being updated, is a a result of feedback from people just like you. (So let us know what you like to see next!)

For the fellow web developers out there, our timelines are built completely using HTML (with the help of HTML5’s Canvas element), JavaScript (jQuery), and CSS. No Flash required. On the backend we use Ruby on Rails with hosting from Heroku.

Prior to working on Preceden, I cofounded AOL-Files.com, a community of AOL developers, built successful Tetris and No Limit Holdem poker bots, and built Domain Pigeon, a tool for finding available domain names, among quite a few other projects. I have a passion for building things and and thrilled to be working on Preceden.

Design Inspirations

Preceden’s design has changed a lot since it launched in early 2010. Every now and then we come across a beautiful site and say “Wow, Preceden would look really good if we incorporated this.” Accordingly, Preceden is made up of bits and pieces from many sites, combined with our own creative ideas. We’d be remiss if we didn’t recognize some of the sites that have inspired the design. To name a few: Brain Tree Payment Solutions, AOL Instant Messenger, 37Signals, Balsamiq, Google Mobile, User Voice, and many others.
