# Inspiration

Personally, we find engagement in history class to be extremely low. The story can be incredibly long and complicated, and it’s exhausting to take notes of every little detail. We’re also not sure which detail is important to know which makes studying for tests difficult. Most history lessons are packaged as a ‘story’ because they are the most entertaining form but they can be time-consuming. Most of the time, we only want to know what happened, when it happened, where it happened, and how it happened in the quickest possible way. We believe that the most efficient way to present a history lesson is through a timeline

# What it does

Sagaline presents a history lesson in a timeline based on a specific topic. It can be the timeline of the french revolution or the timeline of Colonisation in Indonesia, you name it. You can zoom in to get more detailed timeline or zoom out to see it from a bigger picture You can also test your understanding by using the building flashcards and auto-generated tests like “Sort events” where you will order events and “practice” which is like multiple choice

# How we built it

We use bubble io to build the whole project. We categorize the data into lessons and events. The events are categorized by lessons and that’s how we can display timeline based on a certain topic. We have a tier variable that we use to highlight an events’ importance in a lesson and to make the zoom functionality works

# Challenges we ran into

Creating the zoom functionality takes a long time, we iterate through a couple mechanism before settling on one mechanism Simplifying history passages to a condensed timeline
