Timeline Visualization

Why we did this

Our design history was spread across the archive, the history pages, cycle records and git, with no single place to see what happened when.

What happened

A first timeline: archive items and milestones on one scrollable line, with filters and zoom, and the item's page opening right below it. Detail pages and git history were left for later.

New in this cycleArchive pieces and milestones now sit on one scrollable, zoomable line, spaced by their real dates.

Also in this cycle
  • Clicking an event opens its archive page right under the timeline instead of sending you away. In words
  • Every kind of event is described the same way, with its date, how exact that date is, and where it came from. In words
  • Detail pages, the history pages and git commits as sources, and smarter zoom were left for later. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

No ruling needed: the work itself is the change.

So now

Archive pieces and milestones now sit on one scrollable, zoomable line, spaced by their real dates.
