I like history. I also like etymology. The origin and early growth of things, anything, fascinate me.
So when I saw Niall Kennedy’s “widget timeline,“ I spent a good 15 minutes soaking it in. I can’t vouch for its accuracy, and it may not be completely up-to-date, but it’s a very rewarding overview of widget history.
Make sure you play with and read all of the pop-ups. There’s a lot of useful information there. Thanks, Niall!

It is accurate just not nowhere near as accurate as it would need to be .
