  10. No end date given by the vendor

How the timeline is made

  • Drawn by src/lib/historyCore.mjs from src/data/graveyard.ts (15 entries: end dates, dated milestones and launch dates) and src/data/changes.ts (dated tracker entries; undated watch items are left out). The poster is the same drawing, written by scripts/build-history.mjs and rendered to PNG by a headless Chromium.
  • A day is a point, a month is a bar across that month and a year is a bar across that year. No date is sharpened beyond its source.
  • A graveyard date links the vendor page, archive capture or registry record it quotes. A tracker entry links the page on this site that quotes its source.
  • A tracker entry with the same date and page as a graveyard date is the same event and is drawn once, as the graveyard mark.
  • The vendor of a tracker entry is the company its title names first. Records naming none are filed under Other.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some events on the fitness API timeline show as bars instead of points?

Because their source dates them only to a month or a year. A bar across October means the source says October and nothing more precise; drawing it as a point on a guessed day would claim a date nobody published.

How do I share the timeline filtered to one vendor?

Pick the vendor or kinds and copy the address: the filter is kept in the URL as ?vendor=<id> and &kind=<kinds>, for example /history?vendor=google&kind=end. Anyone who opens it sees the same filtered timeline.

Can I print or reuse the fitness API history poster?

Yes. The SVG and PNG are generated from the same records as the page and published under CC BY 4.0: credit AIFitnessAPI and link the page. Each rebuild redraws them, so the poster date is the newest day a record was checked.
