This is an amazing project! Could there also be something like a comparison view of devices and models where you can see overlapped timelines when support ended (e.g. in the past vs now?) Also, something like repairability scores from e.g. ifixit would be amazing to integrate. Whenever I am looking for devices, I am also on the lookout for whether or not a third party OS has upstream support for it at the time of buying (e.g. LineageOS or postmarketOS wiki) because the device isn't "just a dead thing" when there's an OS available that you can flash on it. |

I tried to generate a visual timeline for a given page (https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/pull/2859, has some screenshots), but it was limited to a single page (so you'd only see nokia devices at once for eg).
It turned out that it is too hard to generate clear charts with vague data. We often only know whether is device is supported or not (true/false, see comments about samsung below in this thread), and don't have clear release dates.
I'll get to it someday (PRs welcome), but it might not work for the usecase we want (picking phones) because data on mobiles is very vague.
repairability score -> sounds interesting, will file an issue and see. The hard part is that there's no clear identifiers for devices (SWID/CPE are just not good enough) for us to track this kind of data from elsewhere easily.
