Century Web Interfaces

Century Grid Banner

I’ve been vibe coding some time-based web tools that work for a century or more. My favorite so far is this Life Grid tool (above) — you can import up to 999-year datasets into it (your calendar, your blog, Day One, etc.) and it acts as a weekly time-based interface.

Above is a screen shot of the tool pointed at Ma.tt‘s blog that has over 5000 posts. It’s dynamically searchable, so it lights up the weeks that match your search. You can set the start year and duration, then import your data — which means you can also use it as a life tracker/planner to decide what you want to do with the weeks you have left on Earth. 🙂

There are also three types of timeline scroll tools, like this dynamic 100-year horizontal timeline scroller. These tools came out of some new design ideas I’m working on for the 100-Year sites, and they’re all posted as open source with WordPress deployment notes in my GitHub repo.
