Show HN: Transform any Wikipedia article into a graphical timeline
> Love to see a timeline of world history
> You ought to be able to zoom in
IMO history is so complicated, and timelines do not do justice to the nuances.
Being more familiar to us (as contemporary), what about timelines of recent news ? (Wikipedia current events, or HN?). it helps to vizualize the bigger picture for those who don't follow very close (which is more healthy these days)
Beyond Zooming, Filtering would also help declutter the UI.
FYI There are already nice open-source timelines widgets like https://github.com/NUKnightLab/TimelineJS3 and http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/

Looking for freeware to create histoy+literature timelines (i.e. with overlapping events)
The Timeline Project is a good one. Then there is TimelineJS3 but it is probably harder to set up since it is web based and there is no instruction as I can see. But it looks pretty powerful with a demo website you can visit. (probably somehow possible to run it on local server for yourself). (Both are opensource btw)

Comparing Svelte and React
Uni-directional data flow was not exactly a new idea when React/Flow came out, they just made it more popular. There were quite a few other libraries/frameworks implementing similar ideas.
I heard that 'objectively better' line for years from 2015 onwards, mostly from less experienced devs. Facebook's backing and the personality cult that developed in the JS community around the time certainly had a part in it.
A framework called Ractive [1] was published by the author of Svelte in early 2013, which foreshadows some of the syntax seen in the latter.
