Show HN: WikiTimeline – AI-powered tool to visualize and compare timelines I built WikiTimeline because of my fascination with history and the desire to easily visualize and compare the lives of historical figures. The tool converts any Wikipedia article into an interactive timeline. For example, I created a timeline of America's Founding Fathers and discovered some interesting patterns I hadn't noticed before: Benjamin Franklin was significantly older than the other Founding Fathers. He was already 70 when the Declaration of Independence was signed, while Alexander Hamilton was only 21! John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826 – exactly 50 years after signing the Declaration of Independence. What are the odds? The entire project was built by AI, timelines are generated by openAI, code are written by Cursor/Claude, although myself an developer, I didn't write a single line of code, sometimes I literally just prompted "make it prettier", then magic happens, a modern like UI appears! I think I had this idea in the past, but without AI, I probably won't really implement it. Try it out: https://ift.tt/16argpP You can compare any Wikipedia pages. Just search and select multiple articles to create comparative timelines. Would love to hear your feedback and interesting historical patterns you discover! https://ift.tt/16argpP January 3, 2025 at 09:52PM
