Post facts and events onto one shared world timeline — from ancient empires to this morning’s headlines. Cite your sources, and watch every claim get checked core by core toward the truth.
5,000+ years on one canvasEvery fact traceable14-day free trial
One timeline, every discipline
Everything converges on one canvas — read it, build on it, verify it, and map it.
Every published fact, from antiquity to this morning, on one continuous stream.
ExploreCurate events into narratives — public or private — and reference facts without copying them.
ExploreCommunity scoring driven by sources and votes — trust you can actually see.
ExploreReal coordinates on a live map that redraws as the votes come in.
ExploreThe whole shared record renders on one continuous canvas. Zoom out to the sweep of civilisations, or all the way in — down to individual days, BC included.
Pull facts from the global stream into your own narrative — a war, a dynasty, a family tree. Reference community facts and they stay linked to their source; corrections flow back to the original author.
Drop personal notes as nodes on top of the global timeline or any project — research reminders, hypotheses, family memories. Synced to your account, visible only to you.
One click copies a link to your precise field of view. Friends with hiBar jump straight to the same spot on the timeline; everyone else lands on a page where they can grab the app.
The hiBar canvas isn't a one-line timeline — it's a 2-D grid of history. The vertical axis is time: scroll and the years flow past. The horizontal axis is geography: regions laid out like a flattened map, so Iceland, Poland, Romania, Italy and Greece are columns — and horizontal neighbours on the canvas are real geographic neighbours. That's why shifting borders make sense right on the timeline.
A fact isn't a dot — it's a segment: it covers an interval of time and an interval of place, stretching from Point A to Point B across the columns it really touched. That's why events can stack and overlap, just like they did in reality.
Every fact carries real coordinates, and the canvas itself is already spatial — so the map is the same record, viewed another way. Hit M and the world opens up: kingdoms, empires and modern states drawn in place, coloured by era.
Scrub the year and the borders move. As the community votes on who ruled what and when, the map redraws itself — the frontier follows the evidence, live.
And the map isn’t flat: it carries topography. Study mountain passes, river corridors and possible routes — terrain that decided everything in the age of migrations — and play out the scenarios the land itself allows.
Every fact carries a live score shaped by its sources, references and community votes. No single editor decides — evidence does. Competing versions of an event co-exist and compete, and the best-supported one leads.
Speed matters too. The first person to record an event — fast and true — starts earning votes, references and reputation before anyone else. Every later version has to beat a score that’s already growing. Write it first, source it well, and the record is yours to defend.
Every fact on hiBar lives inside several of its 13 semantic cores — politics, war, science, culture, economy and more. A claim is never judged once: it is cross-checked core by core against the facts around it — dates against dates, places against places, causes against consequences.
Think of each fact as a puzzle piece. When every edge interlocks with its neighbours, it clicks into the shared record. If even one side doesn’t fit, hiBar treats it as a half-truth — still visible, but flagged, until the evidence makes the edges meet.
The canvas that holds antiquity ends this morning. Journalists, researchers and fact-checkers pin today’s claims to the timeline — every statement with a time, a place and a source — and watch the community test them in real time.
Every news item on hiBar faces the same trial as any historical fact: sources, votes and competing versions. People on the ground confirm whether an event really happened in their region — and stories that fail the vote get masked, in public, with the receipts attached.
A claim about a place can be confirmed — or denied — by people who are actually there. Local eyes beat distant headlines.
Votes are weighted by reputation earned in the relevant discipline. A specialist's confirmation counts for more than a drive-by opinion.
A story that loses the vote doesn't vanish quietly — it stays masked under the version that won, so everyone can see what was claimed and why it failed.
Draw an event onto the timeline, give it a date and place, and add your source. It joins the global stream instantly.
Link it to related events, cite the facts it depends on, and let others weigh in with evidence and votes.
Well-sourced facts climb the score and shape the shared record. History, curated by everyone who cares about it.
History can’t be fixed on a page. It isn’t a definitive reality — it’s our best conclusion from the evidence we have, and technology keeps digging up more. New discoveries rewrite the story all the time; printed books can’t be corrected. hiBar can. It converges, in the open, on what humanity currently believes about its past — and updates the moment the evidence changes.
Contributions from everyone converge on a single stream instead of scattering across pages and forums.
Every claim can cite the facts it's built on. Follow the chain of evidence to the origin of knowledge.
Facts earn trust as people weigh in. Strong evidence rises, weak claims fade — all in public view.
Pin events to the exact latitude and longitude where they happened. History in time and place.
