Winstory
Feel how far apart humanity's wins really are.
Most of us remember dates but not distances. Was the printing press closer to the first university or to the telescope? Winstory asks that kind of question, three minutes at a time, and keeps a ribbon of everything you have met, so you can see which centuries are still blank.
Coming soon to the App Store For iPhone. Free, no account, works offline.From Cleopatra to the pyramid: 2,509 years. To the first iPhone: 2,057.
Who it is for
For curious adults and teens who like history but find that the centuries blur together. Winstory does not ask you to memorise years. It trains the feeling of distance between them, using achievements only: science, inventions, exploration, art and the founding of great institutions.
What is inside
Closer
Three events, no years. Drag the top one toward the event closer in time, then watch all three land on a true-to-scale line.
Your ribbon
Every event you meet becomes a point on a ribbon from 3500 BC to today. Empty centuries stay white, and the next rounds pick questions from there.
Meanwhile
Open any point to see what else humanity achieved within a decade of it, and how many years earlier or later.
A win every day
Each day brings one achievement from Wikipedia's "On this day", filtered so that wars, violence and politics stay out.
