SF and Computer Tech Timeline Tool Lets Users Map History Against Their Own Lives
The tool reframes technology history as a personal timeline tied to the user's own age and school stage, and it was itself built using Claude Code in a Vibe Coding workflow, connecting the history it charts to the current method of AI-assisted development.

A web tool called SF and Computer Technology Lifeline has been released on GitHub. Users enter their birth year and life path, and the tool displays events like the Famicom launch, PlayStation release, Minecraft's debut, the first iPhone, and Hatsune Miku's arrival in terms of where the user was in life at the time, such as thirteen years before birth or in high school. Filters let users narrow the timeline by category, including games, computers, robots, social media, and AI.
SF and Computer Technology Lifeline is an interactive timeline that places milestones like the Famicom, PlayStation, Minecraft, the original iPhone, and Hatsune Miku in relation to the user's personal history. The developer, Kimiya Matsuo, has covered computer-related news since before the Macintosh, and the tool's categories span games, computers, robots, social media and internet culture, and AI.
Users can add their own memories, such as a first computer or a marriage, to the timeline so technology history and personal history appear on the same screen. Matsuo said the development was done through Vibe Coding with Claude Code, meaning the timeline of past technology was produced using the current technology of instructing AI in natural language.
