Atlas of a Life - Talk to history's greatest minds on an interactive globe

by•
An interactive 3D globe with 690 historical personalities — from Aristotle to Tesla, Cleopatra to Frida Kahlo. Click any mind to explore their life journey. Then add them to the Roundtable of Minds: select up to 7 figures and ask them anything. Each mind responds through four layers — what they'd say publicly, what they actually believe, the tension they can't resolve, and the truth they'd never admit. Built solo from Slovakia. Free, no account needed. Just history, thinking back at you.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Tomas, a solo maker from Slovakia. I built Atlas of a Life because I was obsessed with one question: what would it actually feel like to sit across from a historical figure and ask them something real? Not a quiz. Not a Wikipedia entry. A conversation. The project started as a Three.js experiment — a spinning globe with dots. Then I added life stories. Then AI. Then the Roundtable of Minds — where you pick up to 7 personalities, ask them a question, and watch them respond through four layers of thought. Try this: open the globe, click Einstein, Marcus Aurelius, and Frida Kahlo. Add all three to Roundtable. Ask: "What does it mean to suffer well?" What I'd love feedback on: • Does the Roundtable feel like a real conversation? • Which historical figures are missing? • What questions do you find yourself asking? Free forever. No account needed. Built with love from Bratislava. Thank you for being here today — every upvote genuinely helps a solo maker feel like this project matters.
