Sadly, I am not aware of any modern tool that does what exhibit does.  Obviously, I have a very clear sense of how to build one, if we could find the resources to do so.  We are working on a new research project, http://mavo.io/ , that does a lot of amazing things but does not yet supersede exhibit.  It might in a few years.

Hi David,

Per you comment "If nothing better has been created in the past 13 years...", are you aware of any tool(s) that could be used to re-build the President's Simile Exhibit that would be modern? More modern? All of the features in that demo - map, timeline, facets, search, tables - via modern technologies seem elusive.

Thanks
Drew

    Simile Timeline is 13 years old and has never been modernized.  If
    nothing better has been created in the past 13 years, that's a sad
    indication of the state of modern software.   The primary reason
    for the continued existence of Simile Timeline is its use as a
    component in Simile Exhibit.  Simile Exhibit *has* had a bit of
    maintenance and modernization.  But it is still dependent on
    Timeline, and indeed timeline is one of the main pieces of cruft
    holding Exhibit back from further modernization.   For example,
    Exhibit has been detached from dependence on the (ancient) Simile
    Ajax library you dug up, but Timeline still depends on it.  So
    when Exhibit loads Timeline it has to do some wacky stuff to
    interface with Simile Ajax.

    Hola Luis,

    Thanks for asking.

    My intention is to build a server application which has the
    capability to display massive timelines.

    I am left with this question, given that the documentation pages
    don't exist for the recent version, only the previous version:
    what, really, is the point of building in the first place?
    Perhaps it's the case that I don't need to build it, even though
    the codebase includes a build.xml (perhaps left over from the
    prior versions).

    Thanks
    Jack

            Has anyone recently built Timeline from the github repo?
            I am finding missing artifacts, which provokes build
            failures.
