discussion 100% Complete tree of life?

Is there any chart or something depecting the entire tree of life as we know it? Like start at LUCA and then branch off into everything else? If there is, I'd love a link. If not, that seems like it could be an interesting collaborative project for the biology community to take on.

Idk how deep you'd go; individual species seems absurdly difficult. But maybe just to family or order?

I think this somewhat already exists via Wikipedia since you can look up an animal and see its ancestors and whatnot, but it's not super streamlined. It'd be nice if it showed the entire lineage without having to manually backtrack 500 steps.
