Shakuf News Timeline

An interactive timeline platform designed for Shakuf, an independent news organization.

The Challenge

News platforms present information in reverse chronological feeds, making it difficult to understand how complex events evolve over time.

the Solution

The platform restructures fragmented news articles into a clear chronological narrative. Instead of overwhelming users with full-length content, it presents headlines with short contextual summaries, editor-defined anchor points that highlight key turning moments, and a sticky mini-map that supports orientation within complex stories. Readers can quickly grasp the bigger picture while choosing when to dive deeper through links to the original articles.
