This was exactly what I was looking for in a timeline! Easy to set up and organize content.
Would love a better way to make sure events always alternate what side of the timeline they are on(they naturally do this, but if I delete a middle timeline event the 2 events next to it stay on the same side.
Perfect for creating a portfolio timeline on a WordPress install.
Considering I used to code timelines using HTML/CSS, this was easy breezy way to do it in WordPress.
Nice plugin for gutenberg timeline.
It will be better if you add a animation setting.
It’s nice and easy to use, but it loads a couple of CSS files on init (two versions of blocks.style.build.css) which means it adds overhead to every page on the site, even when you’re only using the block on a single page (which is probably how most people use this particular block).
I try to avoid plugins that do that, because if every plugin I installed did that, it would bog down my site significantly.
If they fix that, I’ll update my review to 5 stars.
