This just a great app and has been one of my favorites for the last ~7 years. I use it to understand historical events in terms of what else is going on in the world at that time. Great filters (e.g. only leaders, wars, science, etc.) and time ranges, which is helped by the ability to zoom. For example, find out what was going on in the rest of the world during the 100 years war. Items are linked to Wikipedia if you want more information.

Surreal. Whoever put this together deserves a lot more recognition. It might seem a straightforward idea: historical events all across the world arranged in a timeline. But somebody took the effort to bring it all together with a simple intuitive user interface. This is brilliant! Timleg, you know what would be more brilliant? A map interface with the events depicted on location on the map and the time range selected using a slider control. You can do it man! 😀

Expandability is the feature I appreciate most in this app. Plus the wide range of fields it covers. Not clear however what happens when you hit Submit after creating a new entry. Is it added just on my local system? Is it sent to the developer for review? While the history part is fairly complete, I found many gaps in the app's choice of writers, literary works, filmmakers and artists. There's also an Anglo-American bias. I've tried to correct that, wrote 400 entries, but where do they go?
