Story Flow / Narrative
Narrative timeline: characters, threads, and where they meet.
Story Flow / Narrative draws character or thread lines across a time axis, bending them together at shared events. Inspired by the storyline charts of Tufte and Munzner: perfect for project histories, character relationships, and incident reconstruction.
One smooth line per character/thread across a time axis, lines converge at shared events, with tooltips on each event.
Project history and character interaction are inherently flowing: story flow respects that geometry.
Three ways teams use it.
Engineers and services through an incident timeline.
Characters across episodes.
Workstreams meeting at shared milestones.
