Allow horizontal scrolling (e.g. with touchpad) in timeline

I didn't get node-sass to run on my Manjaro machine, so I'll (ab)use your CI for this small change. :)

Did you try 'npm rebuild node-sass' (or whatever other recommendation is spit out when building node-sass fails)? If so, you'll probably have to use nvm or similar to get a lower node version.

It's a pretty common issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53125291/build-fails-npm-rebuild-node-sass-force

node-sass is actually deprecated, and I've wanted to make the switch to dart-sass, which I assume doesn't have these annoying build issues.

Wow, that indeed worked. No idea why I didn't find that solution while doing my googling. Thanks!

Regarding horizontal scrolling, though: I managed to get it to work by setting horizontalScroll: true, but I could not find any configuration that would allow to both zoom (on scrolling vertically/normally) and scroll horizontally (= no UX change for those without mice/touchpads that allow for horizontal scrolling). I opened an issue for this, but maybe the configuration of my current prototype is better anyway: It scrolls horizontally for both input scroll directions, and allows zooming by using the Ctrl modifier. Vertical scrolling would also be possible.
The latter would mean a UX change for all users, though, so I am curious to hear what you think about that, given that you're working on a complete overhaul of the timeline anyway.

Ah, that makes things a bit more difficult. I'm not sure the UX change is for the better, I don't really like the idea of requiring a modifier key to zoom, but I guess it's an option.

Nice that you opened an issue, I'll keep an eye on it.

Not really working, more like planning 🙂

Just a heads up, I added uploading of the build artifact in ba2374b 🙂
