About
I have always been fascinated by famous personalities. To better understand them, I often find it interesting to see which other well-known people lived at the same time and which important events took place during their lifetimes.
Originally, I kept the life dates of the people I was interested in in an Excel spreadsheet and displayed them in a bar chart. However, this was cumbersome to maintain and not particularly attractive visually.
Since ChatGPT and similar AI systems are now able to write code, and I am not, I decided, as an experiment, to replace the Excel file with an interactive web app.
I was surprised by how well and easily this worked. In a second step, I also had the content itself generated by ChatGPT. This resulted in entries for around 1,900 people and 1,500 events across the different subcategories. A new feature is the ability to generate an individual text with ChatGPT for any person, event, or combination of both, and even have it read aloud.
If you notice any mistakes in the people or events, or if something important is missing, please feel free to send me an email. I would also be very grateful for any other suggestions or feedback.
