Timeline Explainer

A scroll-driven timeline lesson for explaining the evolution or history of a topic. A sticky timeline rail on the left highlights the current milestone as the reader scrolls; cards on the right animate in as each year passes the viewport. Great for "history of X" or "evolution of Y" content.
