Partial The scrolling globe timeline and daily guessing game are vibe-codeable with a mapping/3D library and a game loop. The hard part is the large, accurate, curated historical dataset and event content behind '4.7B years of history'.
What it would actually take: The UI can be built with a globe or timeline library such as D3 or three.js plus a daily-puzzle mechanic. Matching the product requires a large, fact-checked historical event database, which means licensed sources or significant editorial work by historians. Pinpoint-style puzzles also need curated, verified location and date data.
