# Brok UI block: About Timeline (`about-timeline`)

An about section presenting company milestones as a vertical year-tagged timeline with a continuous rail.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/about-timeline
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.about-timeline />
```

## Props

- `eyebrow` (string, default `Our story`)
- `heading` (string, default `A decade of building for builders`)
- `lead` (string, default `From a single shared repository to a globally distributed team, every milestone shaped how we think about software.`)
- `milestones` (mixed|null, default `null`)

## Use when

- Presenting company history as a vertical, year-tagged timeline of milestones with a continuous rail.
- Highlighting the most recent milestone distinctly among earlier, muted entries.

## Avoid when

- Use about-split or about-stats for a stat- or story-led about section instead of a chronological timeline.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.about-timeline />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Guidance

Use when

Presenting company history as a vertical, year-tagged timeline of milestones with a continuous rail.
Highlighting the most recent milestone distinctly among earlier, muted entries.

Avoid when

Use about-split or about-stats for a stat- or story-led about section instead of a chronological timeline.

Anti-patterns

Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.

Usage

Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.about-timeline />

Built from primitives

Composes <brok:*> Semantic tokens Re-themeable RTL-ready

This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
