Show HN: A zoomable timeline of 4M Wikipedia events

16 pointsby lortextoday at 6:37 PM6 commentsview on HN

I'm building a journal app in Kotlin Multiplatform and for this purpose I have created a zoomable timeline interface.

This is a side-project where I reuse the timeline interface to display 4 million events imported from Wikipedia / Wikidata, scored using PageRank. There is more information on the about page.

If you're interested in the stack: I use Kotlin Multiplatform extensively, with Compose Multiplatform for the UI, communicates with the backend using Kotlinx-RPC and behind the hood a simple Postgres database on a Hetzner machine.

Fantastic! Testing this on linux-gnome-firefox is smooth.
