Add timeline event manually

Proposal

Create a timeline event from manually in the UI.

Design

Add new event button New event form
Timeline_tab_-_v3 New_timeline_item
  • Introduce a button for adding a new timeline event
  • Button triggers a form with fields for adding timestamp and text content
  • Note: people can only input a maximum of 280 characters in the timeline text field. So, the editing field should utilize the character counting field variant from Pajamas, as outlined in these docs.

Figma

Frontend

  • Show form for creating event
  • Call API when submitted

Backend

  • Provide API to add a timeline event
