  • Static timeline format — no novel technology, just organized information

Post Description

I'm attempting to document the major events of the current Iran War in one place. Its incredibly difficult to know whats going on from across the world and most of what we see daily are just Trump's tweets.

I've thrown together a scrolling timeline to help myself (and others) track events as they've been happening.

I obviously cannot include every single missile strike or drone attack or statement by a politically aligned individual, but I've tried to be objective and include anything "significant". I've also tried to not editorialize as much as possible, and have relied on statements or facts wherever I can.

It is also difficult to find good open source images, if anybody has any suggestions on that I'm all ears.

This is a live WIP, I will be updating it as often as I can, and am looking to add new features for connecting events.

Navigation is done by both scroll and arrow keys, and search can be opened with '/'.

Open to suggestions, corrections, etc.
