Changelog34: Drawn Line Changelog

Releases as points on a vertical line that draws itself in ink as you scroll, with the version and date on one side of it and the notes on the other.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/changelog34.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports changelog34Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working page in one line.

import { Changelog34, changelog34Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/changelog34";

export default function Page() {
  return <Changelog34 {...changelog34Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Changelog34 } from "@/components/beste/block/changelog34";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Changelog34
      eyebrow="Release notes"
      heading="A line through the year."
      description="Each release is a point on the line."
      buttons={[{ label: "Subscribe", href: "/updates", tone: "outline" }]}
      entries={[
        {
          version: "2.4",
          date: "4 September 2026",
          title: "Motion that respects the reader",
          description: "Every entrance now checks the reduced motion setting.",
          changes: ["Reduced motion support across all sections"],
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Entry = {
  version: string;
  date: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
  changes: string[];
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  tone?: "primary" | "light" | "dark" | "outline";
};

Behavior notes

• The ink line is a scaleY transform driven by the list's own scroll progress, laid over a static hairline so the undrawn part of the line is still visible.
• Its scroll offset runs from start 70% to end 70%, which means the line tracks a point about two thirds down the viewport rather than the top edge, and lands on each release roughly as you reach it.
• Under reduced motion the scale starts at 1, so the line is simply drawn rather than frozen at zero length.
• The line moves from the far left on a phone to an inset position at the medium breakpoint, where the version column appears to its left.
• Dots are positioned against the same offset as the line and pulled back by half their width, so they sit centred on it at both breakpoints.
• Entries are list items in an ordered list, so the sequence is semantic and not only drawn.
• Changes are a plain dotted list. The set does not use tagged pills for change kinds, since a tracked small-caps label overflows its pill at some widths.
