[Timeline] Separate label for event timestamp/moment #31

Open nilswx opened 10 years ago

Position a little grey (?) label below the event description, like '3 min ago', '5 days ago', '2 weeks ago'. (like in fatihStrik, Facebook does it this way for a UI/UX reason)

Looks much better & reads way easier than when attempting to pack it all into one little line.

It is not one line, but two! We need word wrapping. (Which we will neat even if the time is separate) and then you will have three lines for every item. Which will look crowded I think.

Valerie Rodent beat Roderick de Jong two weeks ago (in a grey font, perhaps a bit smaller)

Just looks better. It also doesn't force the user to read the entire sentence to figure out what's going on. Separation of the event itself and the timestamp of occurrence.

Adding bold markup or a different coloring to the player names also makes things easier to read. (and makes it look less 'cheap')

Facebook did all of this stuff years ago. :dart:
