I absolutely love this and have wanted something like this for so long.
A feature request: in addition to dragging the timeline smoothly across years, could there also be a step button that jumps to the next (or previous) change in the visible area?
Because if I'm looking at the US in 1623, my main question is, OK, so what happened next? I want to click a button and find out. And maybe even put a bold outline or something around the new border(s).
Having to scrub the timeline, overshoot, go back, now I can't remember what it looked like before, did I go too far? Is not the optimal UX for education. Like it's really cool to get the grand sweep of centuries, but not if I want to read the map over time like a story.
Not to take away from the phenomenal achievement that this already is! Just to make it even better.

I think this is especially important, because some areas may have changed several times within the same year.
