Thanks for the mention!

Indeed, big fan of the idea of Perkeep, and its authors (I learned a lot about writing network code in Go from reading from Brad Fitzpatrick's contributions.)

Where Perkeep uses a super cool blob server design that abstracts the underlying storage, Timelinize keeps things simpler by just using regular files on disk and a sqlite DB for the index (and to contain small text items, so as not to litter your file system).

Perkeep's storage architecture is probably more well thought-out. Timelinize's is still developing, but I think in principle I prefer to keep it simple.

I'm also hoping that, with time, Timelinize will be more accessible to a broader, less-technical audience.
