I've always kind of scoffed when people complain that a history teacher didn't make what they were learning "relevant" or "relatable" but after playing with this for the first time I understand the benefits. At this point in my life, making something "relatable" means expressing it in terms of term frequency statistics and graphs, so this totally blew me away. I was obsessed with it to the point of mania for the first 24 hours. I believe in history now. :)
