Interactive Inca history timeline tool

Build a visual timeline editor for historians and educators to map and share revised historical narratives. Target archaeology departments and schools updating curriculum.

Why now

New archaeological findings constantly reshape historical understanding, but current tools aren't built for rapid iteration and collaboration.

Historians and educators struggle to keep materials current as new discoveries emerge. An interactive timeline builder would let multiple contributors update events, link sources, and publish revised versions.

The tool would focus on easy editing of temporal relationships, source citations, and visual storytelling. Schools and universities would pay for classroom licenses to access constantly updated historical frameworks.

Start with just Inca history as a vertical, allowing drag-and-drop timeline editing with automatic citation management. Then expand to other historical periods.

The biggest risk is academic publishing cycles being slower than tech iteration - institutions may prefer static textbooks over living documents.
