What you get

Every tool a
historian
would want.

The Timeline Project combines a hand-built event archive with an AI engine that generates fully sourced timelines on demand, then layers both into a single browsable canvas.

Core
AI Timeline Generation

Ask any topic. The AI generates 10 sourced milestone events asynchronously, no timeouts, no spinners blocking you.

Core
Expand Deeper

Not enough? Hit expand. More events are appended to the same custom timeline - go from overview to deep-dive.

Navigation
Keyboard Stepping

Arrow keys step through events chronologically. Every popup updates as you move. Navigate history at keyboard speed.

Trust
Source Chips

Every AI-generated event includes at least one verified URL. Sources surface as favicon chips directly in the popup card.

Memory
Timeline History

Every custom timeline you generate is saved. Re-open, re-browse, or continue any past research from the History panel.

Interface
Search + Dark Mode

Ranked text search, year lookup, random event jump. Full dark/light theming. Horizontal and vertical timeline orientations.

In action

Ask a question.
Get a sourced
timeline.

Type any topic into the chat panel. The AI queues a background job, shows live progress, and populates a custom timeline - without blocking the rest of the app.

Process

Four steps
from question
to insight.

Everything runs asynchronously. You never wait idle - the timeline app stays fully interactive while your custom timeline is being researched and built.

01 ——
Ask a topic

Type any subject into the chat panel. Historical events, scientific discoveries, political movements - anything with a chronology.

02 ——
AI researches

A background job queues, sources, and generates 10 milestone events with verified URLs. Progress tracked live in the panel.

03 ——
Browse visually

Events appear on the timeline canvas. Pan, zoom, step with arrow keys, or click any node for a sourced detail popup.

04 ——
Go deeper

Expand your timeline for more events. Revisit from History. Your custom timelines sync into the main archive automatically.

What people feel

History finally
clicks.

The product works best when it makes chronology feel intuitive instead of academic. That is the bar for this landing page too.

“The compare mode makes cause and effect feel obvious. You stop memorising dates and start understanding momentum.”
History teacherSecondary education
“I asked for the history of global collapses and got a structured timeline I could actually navigate, not just a wall of text.”

“The AI section is the hook. It feels like asking a question and watching a history engine build the answer live.”
