Hey Product Hunt 👋
We built Histiphy because history is usually something you read — timelines, articles, Wikipedia pages. We wanted to make it something you can interact with instead.
So we built an interactive atlas of 700,000+ historical figures, pulled and enriched from Wikipedia across every era and region. A few ways to explore it:
✦ Set any year from 3000 BC to today and see who was alive and what borders looked like
✦ Find your historical twin — who shares your birthday across history
✦ Explore family trees — Islamic prophets, royal bloodlines, and more
✦ On this day — who was born or died on today's date, every day
✦ Browse by country, era, or field — 700K+ figures, deeply filterable
We built this nights and weekends chasing one goal: make history something you experience, not just something you read. Would love your feedback — what era, figures, or feature would you want to see next?
Finally a history site that doesn't feel like a textbook. Slid the year back to 500 BC and clicked around Greece for a while, the map changes are surprisingly satisfying to watch.
