Bug in latest update: Global CSS and JS conflicts
The plugin works great on older versions, but the latest update has a serious bug. It breaks global styles (shrinking all website font sizes) and causes a JavaScript conflict that stops my theme's main dropdown menu from working on hover. I had to roll back to the previous version to fix my site. Please check this release for global leaks. Thanks!

Easy to pick up!
This was exactly what I was looking for in a timeline! Easy to set up and organize content. Would love a better way to make sure events always alternate what side of the timeline they are on(they naturally do this, but if I delete a middle timeline event the 2 events next to it stay on the same side.

Happy with the results
Perfect for creating a portfolio timeline on a WordPress install. Considering I used to code timelines using HTML/CSS, this was easy breezy way to do it in WordPress.

Nice plugin for timeline
Nice plugin for gutenberg timeline. It will be better if you add a animation setting.

Doesn't follow good coding practices
It's nice and easy to use, but it loads a couple of CSS files on init (two versions of blocks.style.build.css) which means it adds overhead to every page on the site, even when you're only using the block on a single page (which is probably how most people use this particular block). I try to avoid plugins that do that, because if every plugin I installed did that, it would bog down my site significantly. If they fix that, I'll update my review to 5 stars.
