What changed in Boromlia each week since the first version in September 2025, kept as a Boromlia timeline you can read in any style.
What changed in Boromlia each week, from the first version in September 2025 to today. One entry for every week that shipped something, written for the people who use it.
A new entry every Wednesday.
Release notes, kept as a timeline
Every entry on this page is an event on a Boromlia timeline: dated, tagged and illustrated, readable in any of its styles, filterable by tag, printable, and playable as a story. A product changelog, a project history or a roadmap can be kept the same way.
Doc, a new style: the timeline as a document
A timeline can now be read, and printed, as an A4 document, and phones get a lighter first load. • Doc, a new style: the timeline set as an A4 document, with a title page and contents • Phones load faster: analytics now wait until the page is up • Five fixes for phones: no more cut-off text or sideways scrolling, and form fields no longer zoom in • Three new comparison pages, and one plain vocabulary across the site • File import joins the Advanced plan
Reliable link previews, and a Product menu
Shared links preview reliably everywhere, and the site gets a clearer way in. • Share pictures served by Boromlia itself, so link previews always load • Spans ends its axis where the story ends • A Product menu in the site navigation, and a contents list for the tour • Use-case pages for teaching and legal chronologies rewritten
Chapters side by side, and print what you see
Chapters that happened at the same time now run in parallel, and printing follows the screen. • Chapters that overlap drawn side by side as parallel lanes • Print exactly the style you are looking at • Ribbon tracks that fold • A timeline's display settings saved for every reader • Comparison pages that set Boromlia beside other timeline tools, and every page rewritten in one plain voice
The Ribbon: the whole story on one horizontal run
A new style lays the story out end to end, and touch screens get pinch to zoom. • The Ribbon, a new style: one horizontal run with continuous zoom and a single Scale control • Pinch to zoom on phones and tablets • A sketch of each style on an empty timeline, so a new one never looks blank • The product tour split into basics and advanced
Advanced goes monthly, and maps get a legend
A subscription you can stop in one click, and maps that explain their own colours. • Advanced becomes a monthly subscription, cancelled from the profile in one click • A map legend, and a pin you drop to set a place • Chapters fold away, in every style • Every style and dialog fits a phone • Timeline settings split into Main and Visibility tabs
Import from a spreadsheet, embed anywhere, pay online
Bring events in from a file, put a timeline on any website, and buy a plan online. • Import events from a CSV or TSV file, with every row previewed before it is saved • Embed a live timeline on any website with one line of code • Filter a timeline by its events' category, tags, source and dates • Online payments, and the Advanced plan by the month • Stop sharing a timeline at any time
Print as a real document, and display settings for every style
Export becomes a document set for A4 paper, and each style gets controls of its own. • Print or save as PDF with a print design of its own, set for A4 • A View panel for each style, and a shared Scale setting: space events by real time, or evenly • The phone experience rebuilt around reading and sharing • Reorder the photos inside an event, and jump back to the top of long timelines • A share link now opens only for people who have it
People, sources, and settings organised around the reader
Timelines say who is in them and where each fact came from, and settings follow who is reading. • Timelines get a category and the people in them, and events get people and a source • A reworked settings sidebar, organised around who is reading • Exports fixed • A branded sign-up confirmation email • The product described in plain language across the site

Editing in a side drawer, and the groundwork for plans
