Improve Coda Timeline Features

Submitting on behalf of the decision making for our company project development division:

I am trying to build out a process using Office Timeline Plus - it is just a lot smoother than any other tool I’ve ever tried. have played around a lot with CODA, Linear, and other tools for timelines and i have not liked the lack of flexibility and the information density in any of the tools.

CODA timelines tool is pretty feature limited in the actual visualization - for instance every item must be on it’s own row - so the timeline gets super long and you need to scroll around a lot to find info.

Linear by comparison the timeline is overwhelming and dense with issues, milestones, projects and you can’t set both a start and end date.

Here are images of timelines we’d like to bring into coda:


I agree the timeline could use some love from the devs, you are not the first to wish for improvements.

If you really need to have multiple items per row soon, you can use this workaround using the mermaid pack. Items won’t be interactive like in Coda, but it might be useful in some scenarios.

Let me know if this helped!
