It’s minimal, responsive and easy to use, anyway my timeline could be very very long, so arrow scroll could be frustrating for the users. I’ve decided to add a search bar in order to jump to desired date in the timeline. However I’m really struggling on where to put this searchbar without break the minimal and clear design.
I was thinking to put somewhere the search icon and expand the search bar on icon click (and maybe fade out a little bit the timeline), but where? Has anyone a good idea?
As for search, I would consider dates vs milestones—or both—based on how someone might search. In other words, would they be more concerned with when something happened or what happened?
You could have a sticky header that has a search of sorts, whether that’s a search field or some kind of mini navigation by months/years or milestones.
