Far future timeline visualization shortcomings
Problem
Wikipedia's 'Timeline of the far future' is presented as a massive wall-of-text table, making its profound insights hard to digest. The creator reimagined it as a visual version using Three.js and TypeScript, but users report slow-loading animations, timer-driven animations that go too fast to read, and a lack of scroll-synced progress indicators.
Pain points
- Wall-of-text table format obscures profound insights
- Timer-driven animations go too fast to read
- Slow-loading animations with no progress indication
Questions to verify
- Is there a need for animation speed control options?
- Should loading progress indicators be included?
- Do users prefer scroll-driven animations over timer-driven ones?
Evidence
fact
the only problem with this article is the presentation: it's a gigantic wall-of-text table that does very little justice to the profound, awe-inspiring insights contained in it.

I was a bit slow to understand what was going on at the beginning but I liked reading through each entry especially as time went further and further. Some of the animations also loaded slower so maybe an indication of loading process or time could be useful.

I found the first part engaging, but some of the animations were on a timer instead of the scroller and went too fast, I couldn't read them.
