2,086events after its cutoff

98 historic, 504 major. 1,109 days of news.

It launched on 13 May 2024, already missing 19 of them. Coverage before 2026 is thin (24 entries for 2023, 34 for 2024 and 80 for 2025), so this count is a floor.

Its cutoff, October 2023, is before this chart starts: every mark here is news it has never seen.
