[FEATURE] Horizontal Timeline

Open AKA-Beastmaster opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The vertical layout of the timeline makes it a bit difficult to fully understand the relationship of event ranges to other event ranges. This difficulty comes primarily from the fact that, the within this vertical layout, the event is the priority, not the range of time it takes up.

Describe the solution you'd like An option to render the timeline horizontally would help alleviate the aforementioned issue. In my mind, this layout would feature a sort of "axis" or meter on the bottom that show reference dates. Above this "axis" would be the event ranges. Along with that, the event cards would be hidden until their respective range is hovered over in order to promote readability. Attached is an example layout from another plugin that I believe would work well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • An option to hide event cards and/or reduce their size
  • An ability to add an "axis" that would run alongside the events and their ranges
