Chronos is a historical timeline visualization tool built for people who actually care about history. If you've ever tried to plot the fall of Rome, the rise of the Han Dynasty, or the history of mathematics on a timeline — and watched your software break the moment you entered a BCE date — you know the frustration.
Most timeline tools are designed for corporate project management: Gantt charts, product roadmaps, quarterly planning. They work fine for modern dates, but they weren't built for history. They break on negative years, they look like they were designed in 2005, and they make simple tasks unnecessarily complicated.
Chronos is different. Enter any date — positive or negative — and it just works. No workarounds, no hacks, no converting BCE to fake positive numbers. The Big Bang? 13.8 billion years ago? No problem.

Built by a history buff who spent years frustrated with the alternatives. Chronos exists because the tool I wanted didn't exist — so I made it.
