Hi guys, 

I just want to follow up and say thanks for all of your feedback last month on the Timeliner. I've resolved to use it with smaller data sets. Thanks again for the tips and input, I really appreciate it!

Best regards,
Meredith

On my machine looking at the network tab in google chrome dev tools we're talking 1.5m+!!. I have no idea why google's api is so slow here (and opening the data link directly in my browser was not quite so bad but still slow). Once it loads it does seem fine (other than bad dates) - which I'm impressed by given how many items you have!

I've tried inserting my data to the suggested template, an alternative template, and a test template with fewer fields and no empty dates. None of these have produced a timeline visualization. Any advice?
