The problem
- Finding a historical site isn't hard. Finding one that actually suits your interests is.
- Google and Apple Maps are great when you already know where you're going, but sites aren't categorised in a way that works for people interested in history.
- AI search engines help fill the gap, but bring a verification problem: inconsistent, drawn to the most popular sites, and sometimes plain wrong.
- Blogs and sponsored results navigate by commercial popularity rather than your own historical interests.
Why do I have to wade through all this to get there?
