It's an explorable database of films, TV shows, books and board games based around their historical setting: where and when the thing is set. It's been incredibly complex and interesting getting the (messy) data, making sense of it and trying to design a UI to explore it.

- veverkap 11mo agoThis is totally cool! I will note that there are some Norfolk England things showing in Norfolk Virginia.
- stevage 11mo agoThanks, yeah, it's a hard problem.
