Ignis Turns History Into Somewhere You Can Walk

Field notes

Ignis organizes historical subjects into three visual metaphors: Weald for rooted and branching histories, Tide for things that travel, and Reach for things that expand. Its example journeys ask how coffee reached a desk, who was alive when the transistor was invented, and how the Mughal, Ottoman, and Ming empires compare. The homepage also describes three retellings of the 1947 transistor story for ages 6–9, 10–13, and teens and up.
