Yes! Please just use the "Feedback" button on the side of the interface - after you zoom the map and select time - then you can annotate, and it gives us most relevant context to your feedback

Thanks. Great to hear that you like the user interface...

It is indeed super hard to collect or create better data. We were considering cooperation with indigenous lands non-profit https://native-land.ca/ that would be amazing! Do you know of a better source?

If you have tips for how to improve or data - please - post it via "Feebdack" button on the edge of the website for area and selected time...

To make this project well is super hard.

Hi HN! I’m Klokan, one of the creators of TimeMap. It’s exciting to see this project here — thank you for the interest and support!

We just launched TimeMap on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/timemap If you find what we’re building valuable, an UPVOTE there would mean a lot.

Stanford University recently hosted an event to introduce TimeMap to the world, which you can check out here:

* Recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZspMtwYI98

* Event page: https://events.stanford.edu/event/the-future-of-history-disc...

The talk dives into how TimeMap was built, including our use of Linked Data, OpenHistoricalMaps, LLM pre-processing, indexing algorithms, and more. It also highlights amazing partner projects like Pelagios, TimeMachine, and our amazing partner institutions such as the David Rumsey Map Collection, British Library, ETH Zurich and many others.

TimeMap has been a dream project of mine for years — I’m thrilled to see it coming to life and would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

For context: I’m also the founder of OpenMapTiles.org, a MapLibre.org board member, author of GDAL2Tiles, and contributor to other open-source projects. Currently, I’m serving as the CEO of MapTiler.com.

Looking forward to the discussion, and thank you for taking the time to check this out!

The TimeMap is in fact loading the data from OpenHistoricalMap on the deep zoomlevels (streets) so if you edit OpenHistoricalMap roads and houses it will be displayed there.

See Lille for example - and play with timeline here:

You will see directly how the town center has developed, fortifications, railways or highway... damn cool! :-)
