Nice concept! It defilitely lags a bit on desktop (as said before) and it seems confused about whether it should scroll or zoom when I tried swiping on the touchscreen of my laptop, eventually becoming completely unresponsive until a refresh of the page. Also, maybe leave scrolling for scrolling and have click+drag as the zoom function (on desktop I mean)? It feels natural on maps to zoom with the wheel, but this loo…

Sorry about that. It hasn't been tested on laptops with touch screen. Sorry also for LOL, imagining you trying to catch the plus button. I'm sure your not alone there :)

I did the same thing with the fab and it gave me a chuckle. Perhaps you should speed the animation up and/or perhaps deemphasise the moving portion (transparency? desaturate?)?

Looks great! Can you talk a little about the stack? Doing everything in JavaScript? Thanks

Well the stack is small :) No backend. No db. Using Typescript to get some compiler help, instead of plain js. No libraries for the graphical parts. All drawn on an html canvas. And finally wrapped up to native with Cordova.

Hmmm ... still using cordova!! Did you consider React Native? Is there a problem with this app being ported with React Native? Btw, nice app, and will try to see if it works for my needs.

Nice work. I was thinking of doing something similar using the vis.js timeline module. Time to rethink. http://visjs.org/timeline_examples.html

Wow, that's a cool timeline. You should give it a try! Didn't know it existed.

This is awesome. I seem to have run into an issue where if I keep the window open for a long time, the bar indicating "now" stops moving.

My use case might not be common, but I would absolutely love it if I could zoom in and use OneView as a Pomodoro tracker, have it in the corner of my screen so I can see what I'm supposed to be working on and how far through the Pomodoro I am.

Unfortunately the aforementioned bug makes that a non-starter for now. But I'm excited about the future!
