I added a 'future' mode that should more or less cover that use case.

Thanks for all the feedback! Since this post I've been working on a new Future mode, find it in the hourglass icon.

Thanks for the feedback! Didn't you get a highlight and text banner telling you to either enter a date or select an example? Or do you mean even then it should be more obvious? Was it that the splash screen quote took too long too?

I had a moment to start reading and start entering my date of birth, before it suddenly rewrote the date and then launched the walkthrough.

Noted, thanks. I'll need to get an iPad though...

If you open it on another machine / browser you'll have a fresh start. Note that it's serverless. Share URLs serialize layer and period data. You should see layers and periods that you were viewing when you clicked Share.

If I open the shared link in an incognito window or browser, I'm not expecting a fresh start. I expect the data encoded into the URL `?c=` to restore my session, which I'd like it to include everything I do on the website: birthday, layers, skip tutorial, etc.

Not sure how I can tell apart that someone opens a shared link for the first time vs. someone that sent a link to themselves. Incognito browsing won't be a top priority I'm afraid. But I'm open to ideas.

I completely understand this. My goal is not making people feel bad, to the contrary. It's so marvelous to me to realize how precious time is.

Time is precious. It's so you get a birds eye view of how you've spent your time, and decide how to spend it next

but the only "how" you can add is by connecting your linkedin? is that the only meaning my life is allowed to have? i can't talk about all the cool stuff i do on linkedin, i'd never get a job again.

I don't use LinkedIn... I hate it. And my life is passing by itself, I chose only minor things, make small decisions, so this tool is not for me

I know I may be shooting myself in the foot here, but you're not supposed to stay on the app. Once you take a look at your life in perspective, my hope is that you'll close your browser and touch some grass. It's not a product. It's art. It's your life.

It's not a direct import, nor does it connect accounts or anything. It's an extension that lets you gather your profile data. It's just easier than entering each period by hand. I added it for convenience mainly.

It should be browser locale/region dependent. You may be able to fix it globally from your browser settings.

Hmm, I'm using Safari and don't see anything like this in the browser settings. And the OS is definitely set up to use the one true way.

Like I said "user error" :). you're right thanks!

Bug is fixed, request backlogged :)
