In order to display different historic metadata in the Time Travel component (which would give better clues as to where we want to navigate), current slider will be made into a timeline which would be holding the metadata. The idea is to make that timeline both zoomable and pannable.

zoom and pan are important features in their own right, and quite independent of representing historic meta data on the timeline. So let's tackle that first. I've raised #2686 for that.

This issue is therefore only about representing events on the timeline.

Some comments @foot made in #2651 (and still need to be considered):

  • I got stressed by the "busy" cursor that appeared as soon as I started dragging. Maybe show that onMouseUp when stuff starts happening.
  • Not a biggie but I'd prefer a "Go!" button next to the textfield, if I'm using it I'm probably making a couple of changes and it feels a bit hectic things changing around as you're trying to enter a value.
    timestamp is truncated a tiny bit for me :).
  • Not sure about "live", but can't think of anything else right now.
  • Show the date next to the mouse pointer when dragging? Bit of eye flicking there.
