[OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype

[David Cuenca]

Derek: nice!

Jerry: it is possible to input the dates in the slider, but it would need a
date formatter

About the precision, I would keep it as simple as possible, with years as
default and the option to change it if needed.

Cheers,
Micru
