Ideas for date slider displaying years for distant dates, months for recent dates?

We’ve got a particular need for a slider to display both recent dates / months and also years in distant history. This could be accomplished with date functionality shown on the examples page, but specific dates many years ago aren’t useful and bring undesired complexity. We’d also want non linear functionality, as the difference between the last few months is far more important than the difference between a few months 20 years ago, and if things didn’t scale that difference would be too fiddly.

We’re thinking maybe increments of single years until Date().getFullYear() - 1 and then “Jan 2020”, “Feb 2020”, … , “Oct 2021”, “Nov 2021”. Any ideas how we might be able to get noUiSlider to do this?

Okay, gotcha. I stopped committing the distributed files upon release as of v15, so they’re no longer in the zip when downloading the source. I have yet to add a nice alternative for npm installs (see #1148).
