Perhaps it would make sense to reverse time from bottom to top. Right now it reflects the standard flow of time, forward, like on a watch. But in reality, our time is only running out.
When you have a timeline going from top to bottom, it feels like it will keep going further, but if you reverse it, you see what's left — without illusion.
I like the use of the Weber-Fechner law, that's a lens I use to think of age as well :) The idea is that experienced time is proportional to log time, i.e. it's why time seems to move faster as we age. You could even measure your age in powers of two, like we do octaves.
Are you saying that a better way to measure perceived time is something like "1 year, 2 more years, 4 more years, 8 more years," starting from birth, and maybe call each of those increments a "log year"? I like it.
I guess the "natural" base to use to get the "right" number of increments is a pointless exercise, since it ultimately bottoms out in the question of "why is a regular year as long as it is?", but if we assume a base of 2, I'm currently in my 6th log year, and hope to die comfortably into my 7th. Actuarial odds are >80% in my favor.
Design is amazing. Well done.
I inserted my birthday and got "Enter a real Gregorian date.".
Only then I understood I needed to insert "mm dd yyyy". User error for sure :) but this date format really annoys me
What platform / browser? Note that if you opened through a shared link you may be in view only mode. If that's the case I'll try making it more obvious
It's not a direct import, nor does it connect accounts or anything. It's an extension that lets you gather your profile data. It's just easier than entering each period by hand. I added it for convenience mainly.
