Timelines

In a story that includes multiple characters over many decades where the characters intersect, would be great to see a timeline of the characters and the scenes. In my character description the are birth dates and in some cases a death date. This timeline would enable to view characters and make sure overlapping or non-overlapping occurs as needed.

I found that the AI is pretty bad at interpreting dates and how they relate to people's ages at different stages of a novel. My solution was to create a CSV file that listed every year in that was present in the story. My multi-generational story covered more than 100 years. Then I had a column for every character and their age in that year. It's actually quite simple to put this together, and easy for the AI to reference. I copied the text of the CSV into a codex entry. You can prompt the AI to check the ages of the characters in any particular year.
Having said all of that, it would be great to have a timeline feature built into NC.

In my perfect world, something like Aeon Timeline would be built into NC... or perhaps some kind of import/export between the two, so that we could get a visual representation...
