Social Timeline

Post the thing you would have posted, to a timeline nobody else can see.

  • Its own screen
  • Switch in the library
A post holds
Text, a photo, a place, a mood

The Timeline screen with a box asking what happened, a place field and a row of mood faces, then two posts: one about a bench press at the gym this evening and one from yesterday with a picture attached.
Text, a photo, where you were and how it felt. Then nothing happens.

How it works

  1. Post to nobody

    Text, a photograph, where you were and how you felt. It lands on your own timeline and stays on your machine, which is the entire point.

  2. Where and when, kept

    Bench finally moved, at four minutes past seven, at the gym. Small numbers, big feeling, and enough to find the day again in a year.

  3. Nothing to refresh

    No followers, no replies, no number going up. You keep the part of posting that was ever any good, which is writing it down while it still feels like something.

Asked about Social Timeline

What is the Social Timeline module in Cadence?

Post the thing you would have posted, to a timeline nobody else can see. Text, a photograph, where you were and how you felt. It lands on your own timeline and stays on your machine, which is the entire point.

Can I switch Social Timeline off?

Yes. The library in Settings has a switch beside Social Timeline, and turning it off takes it out of the sidebar, the search and the Today screen. The other 26 switchable modules work the same way.

Does Social Timeline sync between the Mac and the iPhone?

Yes, once iCloud sync is unlocked for $14.99, paid once and covering the Mac and the iPhone together. Until then Social Timeline keeps its data on the device you typed it into, and it goes nowhere else.

Keep Social Timeline. Ignore the other twenty five.
