An R Shiny App for visualising timelines in Logseq
The script scans your entire vault and reads every file. It uses Regexes to identify any event which is scheduled / has a deadline, i.e. date is in the format <2021-08-07>. It is thus computationally quite intensive, but seems to be very quick for small vaults.
Place the .R file in your logseq vault and run. For this to work you need "R" installed, and preferably "RStudio". You need to install the following packages in R for this to work:
shiny timevis tidyverse and tools
The output will look like this...
You can zoom in and scroll from left to right. Labels will adapt to fit the window.
- Categorising events according to backlinks, and showing different categories in different lines
- Colouring events according to categories
- Making it more interactive, so that the user can select events from different categories.
