Adding a Timeline (Inspired from Posts list) support in Gokarna

[Samarendra109]

Basically my pitch is as follows,

Currently you can make a list of posts, then in the posts page they will be organized in a timeline manner, where clicking the title will take you to the page. Is it possible to modify that template to display a timeline?

Hey @Samarendra109, could you provide a similar example or sketch?

[Samarendra109]

Sure,

Something like this, but probably something that allows more descriptions to be added to the list times.
Additionally, to create something like this, I have to do the following structure,

It would probably be better if we can generate the timeline from a single .md or single .toml file.

Thanks, @Samarendra109. I'm still struggling to understand your request. On the face of it, you're asking for:

1. The post's description to appear under the title in list-posts.html
2. Posts which can be created outside of the content/posts/ directory

Is it possible for you to mock this with a wireframe, or provide a screenshot of a website with a similar feature?

[Samarendra109]

Sure,

Basically I want something like this,

Basically a list that displays the timeline (This one has year written on the side, but I prefer the way gokarna has it, with year on the top) and in the list items I can add the title, description and a Image

Let me know if you need more clarification.

@Samarendra109 Apologies for the radio silence. Thank you for providing an image, it helps a lot!

What do you think about this FR as another list page, gents? #320 (comment) @526avijitgupta @yashmehrotra

@Samarendra109 @jamesericdavidson So we are talking about having a listing page for non post types (or any bunch of pages) ?

Bump @Samarendra109

[Samarendra109]

Yes exactly, basically a list page that can contain non-list items. And hopefully with the option of customizing how the list/each list items look.
