Description

A couple of Zendesk users were asking for this, and a script was submitted here: https://github.com/NUKnightLab/TimelineJS3/issues/398

Maybe there's a way to create an add-on for Google Spreadsheets, or something like that?

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #398 and the submitted conversion script referenced there. Then inspect how TimelineJS3 currently accepts timeline data and determine what an Excel-to-JSON or Google Spreadsheets add-on would need to support. Done should mean that the project has a clearly defined, working conversion path and documented scope.
