Overview
The timelines package is a flexible and user-friendly Flutter library designed to create customizable timeline UIs. It provides modular, standalone widgets that allow developers to build complex timelines with ease. Each component—such as timeline items, connectors, and indicators—is implemented as a separate widget, enabling fine-grained control over layout and styling. Ideal for displaying chronological data like project progress, event histories, or process flows, it supports both vertical and horizontal orientations. The package emphasizes simplicity and extensibility, making it suitable for apps requiring clean, interactive timelines.
