Measured entry

8bitcn-timeline2

progressskeuomorphismmotion on file

A responsive React timeline block that lays milestones across a dashed track, then stacks them on narrow screens. It ships through a shadcn registry with Tailwind utility classes and retro CSS, depends on the shared cn helper, and imports its pixel font from Google Fonts.

BARE BUILD

Verdict

A convincing themed milestone strip for short, fixed journeys, with a sensible mobile stack. It needs a shadcn-style setup before it will build, and its equal-looking checkpoints convey sequence rather than actual completion state.

Use it if

  • You need a short sequence of milestones for a launch plan, onboarding path, or project overview.
  • Your interface already uses pixel-art styling and can support the bundled retro font treatment.
  • You want milestone icons and copy supplied as React data while keeping the layout responsive.

Skip it if

  • You need current, complete, and blocked states to be visually or programmatically distinct.
  • You need an ordered-list structure or richer progress semantics without revising the markup.
  • Your product cannot load an external Google Font and you do not plan to self-host it.
  • You expect long milestone titles or descriptions, since the compact layout gives each item limited room.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind with the referenced theme tokens, configure the at-sign source alias, provide the shared cn class-merging helper, and copy the retro stylesheet. Permit the Google Fonts import or replace it with a self-hosted font.
