Time Browsing

Browsing by time is a key feature for most photo apps.

Potential Goals

Allow someone to quickly browse over a large time scale (months, years), and identify images or groups of images, as they go
Adjust to the speed of browsing, and/or the number of photos - slower browsing could reveal more detail, for example
Group chunks of images
Make it possible to quickly browse to specific dates (probably months, or years)
Indicate where in time the current view is
Indicate number of photos taken at a particular time (helps with the "I know I took a lot of photos around then" case)

Shows a zoomed out view for years.

A bar is shown on hover, next to the scroll bar. This allows navigating to a date, and ticks indicate activity.

Pinch gestures allow zooming in and out
When scrolling, a floating handle is shown, which allows scrolling more quickly. While dragging the handle, date marks are shown, similarly to Google Photos Web.
