[OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype

[David Cuenca]

Jan: for the map itself a single slider is definitely the easiest/clearest.
For displaying events on it, a single slider is too limited, though you
could get the same functionality with range queries. ("look for events that
happened between 1500 and 1600, display them on a 1555 map")

Cheers,
Micru
