{timevis} lets you create rich and fully interactive timeline visualizations in R. Timelines can be included in Shiny apps or R markdown documents. {timevis} includes an extensive API to manipulate a timeline after creation, and supports getting data out of the visualization into R. This package is based on the visjs Timeline JavaScript library.
