Best Practices

Follow React best practices by pairing this with playful, informal typography. Maintain consistent spacing within your design system by using it on soft cream or paper-textured backgrounds. Optimize for performance by using efficient CSS patterns for the paper texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs the paper texture an image?

No, the texture is created using a lightweight CSS SVG pattern (`paperTextureColor`), ensuring fast load times while maintaining the hand-drawn look.

QCan I change the line color?

Yes, the `lineColor` prop allows you to adjust the 'pencil' or 'ink' color used for the central timeline spine.

QWhat is the watermark effect?

It places a large, semi-transparent year indicator behind each card to reinforce the 'artist's notebook' layout.
