Hi everyone! 👋 I'm incredibly excited (and honestly a little nervous) to finally share Odyssey. History has always been one of my biggest passions, but I always felt the internet made it surprisingly difficult to explore. Everything lived in separate places—Wikipedia, books, videos, maps, timelines—but rarely connected into one coherent journey. After visiting the American Museum of Natural History last year, I came home inspired to build the kind of experience I'd always wanted to use myself. Over the following months I spent evenings and weekends building Odyssey from scratch. The mission is simple: Make learning history feel like exploration. Not memorization. Odyssey is completely free because I genuinely want as many people as possible to discover and enjoy history. I'd love to hear what you think, what surprised you, and what you'd like to see next. Thank you so much for checking it out!

love that it's free with no paywalls, honestly huge. one thing i'd suggest is adding a way to save or bookmark specific time periods or civilizations so i can come back to them later without having to dig through the timeline again. kind of like a personal collection of places you want to keep exploring. would make return visits way smoother

love that you went with no login, no paywall on something this ambitious. the interactive globe hooked me right away.

Clicked into the Viking expansion era and noticed how neatly trade routes stitched into the religion map on the side, which made the whole thing click for me in a way a textbook never has.
