Case In Point: WhereWereTheyThen.com

Again from the ‘wish it existed’ > I can’t be the only one who’s thought of this > what’s a great domain for this project, camp. WhereWereTheyThen.com. I don’t have it listed for sale because part of me thinks my ongoing attempts at learning to develop web apps is going to dovetail nicely with AI api’s in the next year or so.
But considering we’re always hearing and reading about successful people in their prime, don’t you want to know where they came from and how they got there?
This would be a search engine that combs the archives and, using AI, builds a history of someone’s career… Where they were born, went to school, their first companies etc. etc. and displays it in a timeline of images you could click on to take you to sources.
AI failed me in a quest to build a decent graphic representation. But it would look something like this, where when you hovered over any part of the timeline there would be an associated headline.
