Made a Gantt widget for Figma — timelines that actually track dependencies

Made a Kanban board widget for Figma a while back (~12k users), and people kept asking for a timeline view — so here it is: a Gantt chart that lives on the canvas.
  
The part I care about is dependencies. Draw a "depends on" arrow between two tasks, and when a task's start date arrives while the thing it needs still isn't done, it flags itself as blocked (overdue too). You never set that by hand — it reads the dates and the arrows. Most Figma timelines skip this; they're just bars that don't know about each other. 

The rest is the usual: phases, milestones, day-to-year zoom, edit in a popup.

Would genuinely like to hear whether a separate timeline widget makes sense, or if the board and the Gantt should just be one tool.
