I have developed a tool capable of generating a wikipedia style encyclopedia from your CK3 save file.
Each character, faith, culture, dynasty and title is given it's own page that aims to represent all the data so far only available in game, and additionally the tool renders some really cool graphics that aim to help you visualise the history of your playthrough. From simple family tres through graphs of adherents through time to a timeline that displays the lifespans of empires and notable events like conquests of kingdoms and empires.
I spend quite some time developing this tool so I would love to see it get some attention and usage. You can find the source code alongside precompiled executables for Windows and Linux on my GitHub (TCA166) and you can preview the output there where i simply deployed my output to GitHub pages. I would post a link but alas it seems that is not possible.
Here are some screenshots of the tool output:

That's really cool.
If you can visualize borders on the map, does it mean you can create a timelapse? I assume each title history is recorded in the save file?
unfortunately it's impossible to create a timelapse (trust me i would have created a tool for that if it was possible) with the data that is currently saved within ck3 save files.
In order to create a timelapse we would need to know either whose vassal were characters on their deaths, or we would need to have title de facto liege transitions recorded within title history. Neither is recorded. Actually plenty of data is lost currently during a ck3 playthrough. Things like claims, vassalage, kills, memories, wars, battles are lost entirely
 
oh, that's unfortunate
so, in theory, we'd need a mod to record everything while the game is running. Which might bloat the save file...
I personally haven't had much experience with ck3 modding, but I did my fair share of hoi4 modding and I really doubt adding arbitrary data to save files is possible within the modding API. Certainly wasn't possible in hoi4. I think we need to wait and hope Paradox decides to chronicle more things on their own. But I don't think adding liege changes to history would bloat the save file that much. Might even be less detrimental so save file size than adding legends or memories.
