Highly Customizable Content: Each timeline card supports a Custom Date/Label, Title, Description, Image (with position and object-fit control), Call-to-Action Link, and a custom Marker Icon.
Advanced Typography & Design: Fully control font families, responsive font sizes, link padding, border radius, and accent colors for every single element.
Scroll-Triggered Animations: Bring your history or roadmap to life with smooth reveal animations (Fade Up, Fade In, Slide In, Zoom In) as users scroll down the page.
Accessible & Performance-Optimized: Respects prefers-reduced-motion settings for accessibility. Powered by vanilla JS and IntersectionObserver—no heavy jQuery libraries.
Server-Side Rendered: Ensures SEO-friendly HTML markup, dynamic CSS variable injection, and maximum security.
