@yamsasson Thank you. I really like it, especially that you take the facts!

Man, this is brilliant idea – students should use it in the lessons of history. Is there a possibility to add some historical events by users?

Right now, I don't have a direct 'add event' feature because I'm strict about verifying data sources to prevent misinformation. However, a 'Suggest an Event' button is definitely on the roadmap for future updates!

@yamsasson Fair enough, still think it is one of the most useful launches today :)

Interesting idea @yamsasson . I’m curious how smooth the globe feels when loading large clusters of events at once. Does it stay responsive as you scroll through long timelines?

This is a great tool! I hope you continue to gather more data points and explore additional UX options.

Thank you! 🙌 I’m definitely planning to scale up the data factory.
Regarding UX- I’d love to hear your thoughts. Was there a specific interaction or view you felt was missing? I’m currently experimenting with different ways to handle 'dense' timelines.

Give it a try! It handles the load surprisingly well. Even if you select the full range (-4000 to 2025) with all categories active-which is roughly 15,000+ events—it stays responsive. it’s obviously not 100% flawless and depends heavily on your internet connection
Performance is good. Even with all events added it was fine to use, just a little laggy when moving the globe due to events populating but after initial load it ran relatively smoothly again. Really cool to see all these events where they actually occured.

@corey_paskewitz1 Thanks for the feedback...good to hear that
I can really appreciate this project! Interested to see where it goes as far as collecting data, ensuring it's all accurate, etc. as the other commenters mention.
