Time - One giant gantt chart from big bang to today.

by•
I built time because history is not happening in isolated events, being able to see everything in one giant gantt chart, allows you to realise that ie. 'Mozart was living during the founding of the USA'. Try: Click Deep time → see the full span from the Big Bang Click Now → jump to the present Open Chronicles → “what happened 1 / 10 / 100 years ago?” Would love feedback on which Level of detail rows and zoom levels feel most useful.

It would be amazing if you could overlay multiple civilizations or regions side by side on the same gantt chart, so I can directly compare when Mozart was alive versus, say, composers in China or rulers in the Ottoman Empire. That cross-cultural comparison feels like the killer feature waiting to happen.

thank you for the feedback - thats actually tricky - the demo composition of events has clearly my European bias - I’m trying to extend this to all cultures - but the fetch of the events is actually not direct from wiki data but curate - happy about any suggestions on how to improve this!
