Summary 💡

The functionality of expanding and shrinking the timeline component would be useful.

Examples 🌈

In shrunken state the timeline can e.g. only show the latest 3 items and when hovering, it animates to show the full timeline.

Motivation 🔦

I want to show only the lastest event but give the the user the possibility to see the full history of events, while hiding it when the user does not need it, to save screen space

Done should include the requested expanding and shrinking behavior, documented usage, and coverage for the relevant states.
