See how it all lines up.
Stretches of history laid out horizontally, pannable and zoomable, with the key dates hanging below the line and the eras, reigns and campaigns drawn as bars. Sixteen timelines ship with the app — nothing to fill in, everything to read.
The same set of entries, from driest to richest — pick whichever way you'd rather take it in.
The plain reading of what a timeline holds, grouped by year. Where the app opens, and the one view that needs nothing explained.
The same entries printed as data — dates, spans and categories in columns, for when you want to scan rather than read.
Every year labelled and laid out in a row. Pan back into the past, pinch to zoom, and tap a year to open it on its own screen.
The same history told as a board of cards, decade by decade — the reading version, with the pictures the entries bring with them.
Turn a timeline into questions — which came first, what year was this, who ruled when — so the dates you've been reading actually stick.
