Nicely done! I especially like the timeline. Most of the data for the search results I tried are available via DBPedia and other sources and you did a great job tying it all together.

BTW, re: UI: I found it easy to use, and it looked nice, on the iPad Pro I am using right now. It is kind of people here to offer suggestions for improving the UI, but my suggestion is to leave the UI as is and keep working on the back end stuff

Thanks for the kind words! You might have seen the UI after I just pushed a small improvement through (it was right around the time of your comment), so it may have been less offensive for your particular viewing! (If it doesn't change when you do a hard reload, you saw the updated version.) Hopefully that addresses some of the issues, but I agree that focusing on the core service is more important in the long run.
