Animated timeline
Has anyone found a solution to easily display (and maintain!) an animated timeline on a page? Our use case is to display progress on various projects all on one page.

Following as we were just trying to do the same thing!
Following too! Christina, do you have an example of an animated timeline?
Hi Christina Peschong Molly Sproatt - curious about this one - is this the type of functionality you're looking for?
Brad Rooke we were more looking for something like this, having it grow as you scroll down, and we'd add to it over time. Today we're creating in photoshop and updating the image in an HTML box.
Below is what we were shooting for but open to ideas that may work better. Hoping to have it span the width of the screen and have it animated. Purpose is to visually represent a summary of the project status.
For previous Jive users, there was a progress tracker built into the platform. This would be a useful feature to have to keep people visually alerted to the progress of a project (stop light with red yellow green), goals of a fundraiser (thermometer filling up), etc.
Hi Christina Peschong Molly Sproatt and Howard Chattley ! Thanks for commenting on this subject and providing examples. I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce David Bistolas who heads up our Developer Relations team. I had a chat with David about this functionality and we're wondering if you'd be willing to hop on a call to discuss what you're looking for in more detail. Please let me know if you'd be agreeable to this.
Brad Rooke I am always up for a call with the folks at Igloo. Sign me up!
Hi Christina Peschong Molly Sproatt and Howard Chattley ! I've sent you each an email so we can pull a call together and discuss. Looking forward!
We're looking for something similar... our idea though is to highlight our employee giving and donation matching program, so we'd like to have something like this:
Mindy Montgomery We did something similar (see below) for a recent giving campaign. I used the campaign's logo and just slowly filled it up with the blue color as the giving increased, always putting the total $ amt in the heart. It was a mix of Powerpoint, Movavi and Canva to create the gif - so NOT easy but turned out cute! Would've loved something like the thermometer if it was easy!
That's awesome Christina Peschong! Kudos for creating such an awesome GIF/graphic! Sounds perhaps a bit too complicated for me though...!
We would also be interested in the same type of thing for the same reasons as above;
Good morning all! Thanks for your participation in this thread. As noted above, we had a small focus group meeting with our Developer Relations Team. We've elicited a list of requirements and our DevRel team is investigating. We'll keep you updated on our progress as news becomes available.
