A long, long time ago, I maintained a history website. Its main feature was a historical timeline generator where you could give it any keyword and it would generate a timeline for that keyword from a database of timeline entries. For example, if you give it the keyword “dogs,” it would generate a “History of Dogs” timeline.
I’d like to resurrect the timeline app, and also explore some other ideas for a history website. Ideally, the website would be set up as a blog where there is an entry for each year or time period. Each entry would go in-depth on the major events of that period of time, and include multimedia elements to capture the mood of the era.
