Het Parool x Timepath Timeline

Het Parool uses Timepath’s Timeline product to provide its readers with clear and accessible overviews of complex developments and historical events. From city history to evolving news stories, the timeline format offers a structured, visual way to present information chronologically.

With Timepath, editors at Het Parool can easily create and publish interactive timelines that include articles, photos, videos, and custom content. Each event on the timeline can be expanded for more detail, giving readers both the big picture and the finer points.

Timelines are styled to match Het Parool’s design, and are responsive across devices — making them ideal for both feature stories and fast-moving developments.

Key benefits for Het Parool:

  • Present stories chronologically for better reader understanding

  • Combine text, images, video, and links in a single timeline

  • Ideal for both historical retrospectives and real-time updates

  • Fully responsive and visually aligned with Parool’s identity

  • Increases time-on-page and user engagement

By using Timepath’s Timeline, Het Parool turns complex narratives into engaging visual journeys — helping readers see not just what happened, but how and when.

DeMorgen turns Antwerp into a bucket list with Timepath GeoStory

De Morgen asked what you have to have done at least once as an Antwerper, collected the answers from locals, and published them with Timepath GeoStory's bucket list mode. Readers switch between a list and a map, filter by category, and mark every tip as somewhere they want to go or somewhere they have already been. Those choices persist, which turns a city guide into a tool people return to rather than an article they read once.

Leeuwarden Courant turns its readers into photographers with Timepath Voices

King's Day happens everywhere at once, and no newsroom has enough photographers for it. Leeuwarden Courant turned that into an invitation: a Timepath Voices callout inside the article asked readers to send in their best photo, and every submission appeared in the same place moments later. No form, no inbox, no upload page — one question, one tap, and a gallery that filled itself while the day went on.
