Description
Hi all,
I would really like to use timeline.js in my web project.
There are events starting from 1600 to 2016, but most of them are located between 1900 and 2016.
Is it possible to have a non-linear timeline, for example with smaller distances between 1600 and 1900, so that the user is able to see the events without having to scroll between large distances?
Best regards,
Sartory

Research direction
Start by reading timeline.js and tracing how dates from 1600 to 2016 are mapped to timeline positions. Review the issue discussion and existing scale behavior before proposing the interaction and visual rules for a non-linear timeline. Done would require an agreed design and a working demonstration that keeps the dense 1900–2016 events usable.
