#82Have had an idea for a timeline search/visualization. Search a thing and that pulls pages and related pages with date/times from Wikipedia.

I bring it up here just in case something already exists and I missed it.

At this point markwhen is available as a VS Code extension, Obsidian plugin, CLI tool, and web editor in Meridiem. Some recent markwhen developments: - Dial, a fork of bolt.new (Stackblitz's very cool tool that leverages AI to help quickly s…
