Activity feed

Pro

A team activity feed grouped by day, with filters, a live new updates pill, expandable diffs, and a mark all read sweep.

Live block · sample data

When to use

  • A workspace or project activity page for a team product.
  • A dashboard panel that shows what changed since someone last looked.

When not to use

  • Use audit-log for compliance history that needs search, export, and exact timestamps.
  • Use notification-center for a personal inbox opened from a bell.
  • Use changelog-feed for public release notes.

Installation

Pro source and install commands unlock with a Pro plan.

Usage

Use this for a workspace or project activity page. Load events from your activity API, stream new ones in through the items prop, and persist read state through onReadChange; new events in the preview are simulated.

example.tsx
1import { ActivityFeed } from "@/components/arc/blocks/activity-feed/activity-feed";2 3export function ProjectActivity({ events, live }: { events: Activity[]; live: Activity[] }) {4  return <ActivityFeed items={events} incoming={live} onRead={ids => markRead(ids)} />;5}

API reference

ActivityFeed

A team activity feed grouped by day with sticky day headings, filters for people, type, and date range, expandable comments, diffs, deploy details, and photos, a live new updates pill, and a mark all read sweep.

incomingIntervalnumber6000Milliseconds between simulated arrivals.
todaystring"2026-09-24"ISO date the day offsets count back from.
defaultRange"today" | "week" | "month""week"Initial date range.
onRead(ids: string[]) => void–Called when events are marked read, one at a time or all at once.

Keyboard interactions

Tab
Moves through filters, the pill, and each expandable event.
EnterorSpace
Expands or collapses an event and marks it read.
Escape
Closes the people filter and returns focus to its button.

Accessibility

  • Each day is a labeled section with a heading; events are an ordered list.
  • Expandable events are buttons with aria-expanded and aria-controls.
  • Unread state is spoken as part of the event and shown with a dot and a wash, not color alone.
  • Type filters are toggle buttons with aria-pressed; the people filter uses real checkboxes.
  • A polite status region announces new updates shown and how many were marked read.

Motion

  • New events queue behind a pill so the list never jumps while someone reads; showing them slides the list down and scrolls to the top.
  • Mark all read sends a hairline down the list; each row lets go of its dot and wash exactly as the line passes it.
  • Filtering fades rows out and closes the gaps on a spring.
  • Details open with a height spring and a rotating chevron.
  • Reduced motion removes the sweep delay, travel, and blur and keeps instant state changes.

Responsive behavior

  • Type filters scroll sideways on narrow screens.
  • Below 440px the time moves into the meta line under each event.
  • Day headings stick with a translucent material while their events scroll under them.

Performance

  • Filtering is memoized over the item list.
  • The sweep uses CSS transition delays and one Web Animations API line, so it costs no React renders per row.
  • Photos load through next/image at 96px.

Notes for AI

Give your coding assistant the Markdown reference instead of screenshots.

  • Map your events to action and target so each row reads as one sentence.
  • Push websocket events into incoming; the pill counts them and merges them on click.
  • Keep details short: a comment, a small diff, a deploy summary, or up to four photos.
  • Persist read state through onRead.
