How is the plugin/theme different from what's already provided on the Commons? *
The current timeline plugin available on the commons (Knight Lab TimelineJS) is not a good fit for the project I'm working on. It has a heavy focus on photos, and Cool Timeline will enable user to create a more compact timeline that also works well with text-only content. Cool Timeline also creates a more modern looking product.

Please let us know who you are (include a link to your site) and who will use this tool? *
My name is Ariane and I'm a Web Design Consultant working with Professor Vivian Louie to build a site for the Asian American Studies Oral History Project. The URL is https://hunteraashistory.commons.gc.cuny.edu/
I would like to use the plugin to improve the look and user experience of the timeline page on the site (https://hunteraashistory.commons.gc.cuny.edu/1940s-1960s/)
