This is a pretty cool little site :)
Looks like there is room for A LOT more startups.
They should definitely add recently shut down companies too, e.g. Parse, Mailbox etc
I'd also suggest taking out the '2004 - Homepage, no change' - if no change, no input would be better/cleaner?
@bentossell agreed! Looking at the changes over time, and scrolling past a bunch of "no change" years takes away from the focus on the UX we're reviewing. Cool site!
@ranlearns@bentossell@alirtariq Thanks! Since the post on Product Hunt, I have received a lot of encouraging messages recently and I’m currently working on several improvements :)
Thanks for hunting my project @bentossell !
I spent a lot of time browsing Internet Archive and going back to the past like Marty Macfly ;)
Please vote for the next Timeline by scrolling at the bottom of the page.
@jacinthe_ any plans to do mobile app UX/branding timelines? That would be awesome. Perhaps crowdsource it and let users submit screenshots from various apps?
@j_ceniza Thanks for your support. I'll take your feedback into account :) Also, Shazam’s timeline is online with several screenshots Android and IOS ^^ http://www.uxtimeline.com/shazam...
Great site! This is more of a branding timeline than UX, no? It's showing the homepage of the site (changes in logo, colors, etc.), not so much the actual UX of the app.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that that overnight successes happen rarely. Even the iPod took a few generations to make measurable impact.
This is a great visualization of how some of today's most well-known digital products have evolved over time. Looks like there's room to put PH in there ;)
I see this and think, why has this not been done before. Really good way to track how these services came to be. A good addition would be interviewing the founders or staff on why they changed certain things. That would be priceless.
@liora_ Thanks Liora :) I'll take your feedback into account. Shazam’s timeline is online with several screenshots Android and IOS ^^ http://www.uxtimeline.com/shazam...
I love this. If you could find articles where the team or even outsiders write about the rationale behind the branding change (ie., Airbnb Belong Anywhere:http://blog.airbnb.com/belong-an...), that would even be awesome-er.
Very nice idea, although it would be great to see some deeper analysis not just a set of screenshots. Also, such long vertical timelines make it difficult to compare a given feature across history, since you lose context. It would be great if you could have side by side let's say the logos, or font types, or home pages, etc... Nice starting point though!
@madinelle Merci Estelle :) Je viens de mettre en ligne la timeline de Shazam. Impressionnant également l'évolution de cette société qui existe depuis 1999. http://www.uxtimeline.com/shazam...
Really like this! Very interesting to see how the branding and UX of companies has developed. Also it's nice to see all of the different initial homepages that sort of look like they were built over a weekend 😃. It would be great to be able to filter to just their home pages on the timeline, some of them also have about pages or more info pages, while that is nice to see, it distracts from seeing just how the homepage has changed over the years (which i think is the most interesting).
@tylerswartz Thanks for your kind words :) I'll take your feedback into account and I am currently working on improvements. Also, Shazam’s timeline is online ^^ http://www.uxtimeline.com/shazam...
