Omnistory is a timeline generating javascript embed tool that allows historians and journalists to present a series of events from multiple perspectives. The idea got it’s inspiration from a project called Timeline JS which is a timeline generator funded by Knight Labs. I wanted to develop a successor to this project to address the main component that it never sought to address: Journalistic Bias.
Bias is hard to avoid when writing for even the most experienced writers; especially when trying to understand different groups’ perspectives on very complex conflicts. This project aims to provide a publishing structure capable of streamlining the process for writers to visualize complicated conflicts from multiple perspectives for their readers.
