Why?

We built a timeline platform for our MoneyDesktop goal platform. It looked similar to GuitarHero so I decided to make it a somewhat playable game engine.

Who?

Developed for MoneyDesktop initially by Dennis Wilkins (@inlineblock) and Josh Faul (@jocafa).

How?

We utilize the browser, D3, Backbone, and Underscore. We are also utilizing Less so you don't need a server to process our stylesheets.

Wanna run it locally? Start up a HTTP server (required for less). A simple way on machines with python is to use SimpleHTTPServer.

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
