# Timeline: your work as a build log

> The Timeline template shows your projects as a build log: one rail, the dates each one started and shipped, year markers and status on every entry.

Every project on one rail with when you started and shipped it, year markers along the way and "Now" at the top.

## How it is laid out

Timeline opens with your photo, name, location and bio, and a row of numbers: projects, how many are live or building, monthly revenue and the year you started shipping.

Below, the **build log** runs down one rail. It starts at **Now**, then lists your projects in the order you set, each with its dates (like "Mar 2024 – now" or "May 2022 – Nov 2022"), a dot in its status color and a card with its logo, name, description, tags and revenue. A **year marker** appears whenever the year changes. Projects marked large also show their screenshot and details.

Dates come from the started and shipped months on each project's page. A project without them simply has no date.

## Who it suits

Makers who have been at it a while: a page of years, launches, an acquisition and a few things put on hold reads as a story here rather than a list. It suits [building in public](https://makerhandle.com/blog/how-to-build-in-public), job hunting and anyone whose track record is the point.

Put your newest project first for a log that reads top down. On a phone the rail moves to the edge and the dates sit above each card.

## Part of Pro

Timeline is included in **Pro at $20 a year**, with Bento, Spotlight, Terminal, Studio and Magazine. See [every template](https://makerhandle.com/templates) and the [themes and palettes](https://makerhandle.com/features/themes), or [Minimal](https://makerhandle.com/templates/minimal) for a quieter index.

## Pages it suits

- **[Job seekers](https://makerhandle.com/for/job-seekers)**: projects in order with the months you started and shipped, and an Open to work badge.
- **[Solo founders](https://makerhandle.com/for/solo-founders)**: years of products, launches and an acquisition on one rail, so the track record is the pitch.
- **[Hackathon builders](https://makerhandle.com/for/hackathon-builders)**: each hackathon project dated, with your role on it.

These are examples, not rules: every template shows the same content, so try a few in the editor's live preview before you pick.

## Questions

### Does it show revenue?
