Share Timelapse Project Like Never Before: Introducing the New TimelapseRobot Sharing Page

The Sharing Page is a core feature of TimelapseRobot and plays a crucial role in how users present and distribute their timelapse projects. With this latest update, the page has been redesigned from the ground up to support a wider range of use cases. The improvements focus on accessibility across devices, improved user interaction, and faster access to visual content. Whether you're using timelapse imagery for documentation, stakeholder updates, or creative storytelling, the updated Sharing Page provides a flexible and professional way to share your timelapse project with clarity and control — whether it's with friends, family, coworkers, or the world.

Slider for Frame-by-Frame Exploration

A central feature of the update is an interactive timelapse slider. This tool enables frame-by-frame navigation, giving users the ability to explore their archive in detail. Whether for inspection, comparison, or presentation, this slider lets users navigate through individual images to track changes over time. While performance improvements are ongoing, the slider already helps users navigate through time and view their project frame by frame. This makes it easier to spot changes, understand progress, and get a sense of how the project evolves visually over time.

Calendar-Based Date Selection

In addition to the slider, a separate calendar-based date picker allows users to jump directly to any specific date and time within the archive. This feature is particularly helpful for quickly locating key events or monitoring specific phases of a project without manual scrolling.

Responsive Design with Embedding Support

The redesigned Sharing Page is now fully responsive, ensuring a consistent experience across desktop and mobile devices. In addition to standalone viewing, the page can be embedded directly into websites, blogs, or tools like Notion — allowing seamless integration with your project.

Flexible Image Filtering Options

The Sharing Page now includes filter settings that give users more control over how detailed they want their timelapse playback to be. Whether you want to examine every image or prefer a high-level overview, you can filter the timeline to show just one frame per day, week, or month. This flexibility makes it easier to focus on key milestones or changes without being overwhelmed by too many images.

Timelapse Playback with On-Page Controls

A built-in playback function allows viewers to watch a preview of the timelapse directly on the Sharing Page. As images load progressively in the background, users can simply sit back and watch their project unfold over time — offering a convenient way to get a quick visual summary without needing any external tools or setup.

Performance Optimization with Instant Preview

To improve performance, the page loads the most recent image immediately, while older frames load progressively in the background. This approach ensures fast access to current content without sacrificing access to the full archive.

Custom Footer for Project-Specific Metadata

A new customizable footer section allows users to add supplementary information such as camera settings, shooting intervals, or relevant links. This helps contextualize the timelapse for collaborators or stakeholders.

Why the Sharing Page Matters

These updates make the Sharing Page a more informative and interactive tool for presenting timelapse data. It is particularly useful for fields such as construction monitoring, environmental observation, and creative storytelling. Users can now share their timelapse project in a way that is visually appealing, technically robust, and easy to access.

Because the Sharing Page plays such an essential role in how users present their work, we are already working on further increasing its load times and overall performance to ensure a smooth and reliable experience in the upcoming months.

The Sharing Page is available in all paid TimelapseRobot plans. To start using the new features, log into your dashboard and activate the updated Sharing Page.
