New Chart Type - Timeline

amehdad

Currently there are a few ways to show a series of events such as Calendar and Gantt chart. However, neither provides the clearest snapshot of current and future projects to help with decision-making while being visually striking and intuitive enough to be distributed across the wider business.

Here is a "timeline" brick. It has options to flip vertically or horizontally. Wondering if this would solve the need?

Hi @Gavatar, thanks for offering the workaround, I was thinking more on this design, below, to showcase current and upcoming projects:

The timeline brick appears like a chat thread, serving perhaps as a way to pull out memorable quotes and comments for a live campaign or event, or an internal comms log on development.

Very cool looking example. Here again is the sample brick that can be customized.

We are using your example as a core use case for this brick

Would it be possible to have tooltips enabled in this brick? I like the idea of saving space along the timeline by having a title (and perhaps short date) and then, as a tooltip, nested list of summary points, that can be shown through hover.

GaryGibb

The hover can be completely controlled in the brick.

Thanks @Gavatar, happy for the Timeline Brick to proceed to next step.

Hi @GaryGibb or @amehdad, is this brick available in the app store? Or how could I get started with creating my own. I don't see any code shared in this thread. Thanks
