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. MIT licensed — contributions welcome.
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.
Love the gantt approach, especially the Deep Time view. One thing that would help me a lot: let me click any bar to see a small popup with 2 or 3 sentences about what was going on in that civilization at that moment, instead of having to leave the chart to get context. Would make scanning huge spans way more useful.

Who hunted Time?
Time was hunted by Christian Fiebig. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
