Observed interaction / 03
A dense history,
one reading.
These diagrams describe the source mechanism without reproducing its screenshots, milestone copy, or bundled application code.
Why it is here
History becomes
browseable.
The source treats a timeline as a compact event index. Equal spacing prevents quiet years from consuming empty width, while the selected point, spring progress, and short crossfade create a clear relationship between navigation and reading.
The timeline compresses a long institutional history into one calm line: every dot remains lightweight, while the selected event receives enough room to become readable and linkable.
