Idea for new status page design

[jbrooksuk]

I've had an idea for a new kind of status page layout. What if we used a timeline design? We could still list each day, but under it would be a timeline view, with each icon being the status:

@HipsterBrown what do you think?

👍 For the idea. It would make Cachet more unique, Interested to see how you would do it and how it looks :)

Thanks @kfrankperson - I'm glad you like the idea. It wouldn't be too hard to implement either. I'll give it a go.

Quick and dirty hack to show what i thought :)

That's an amazing start, here are some thoughts:

• The status icon should be within a circle which is coloured based on the status value (as it currently is).
• The "Today" label could be blue for today, but then a lighter shade/grey for past days. Would we show relative dates?

It's brilliant so far!

Thanks for your comments, I am no designer but I thought i would give it ago.

Again it's rushed and very dirty but I think it gets the idea across.

It looks good, the icons should be white though for contrast. I love the background and layout.

For comparison, here's what I've been playing with:

You nailed the fix, then you noticed there was an issue???

Yeah the seeder is back to front 😉

[jbrooksuk]

Actually, the seeder is correct, it just happened at exactly the same time, so it's ordering naturally.

[jbrooksuk]

BTW, all I've done here is copy the markup (albeit with some heavy clean up) so I can quickly play with it.

[GrahamCampbell]

Sure. It just looks very odd to see it in that order.

[jbrooksuk]

I might put a usleep in there to split them up a bit.

This is now done:
