The bug

Image The blue bar in this screenshot is half way between 2014 and 2015, suggesting the timeline hould be showing pictures from the middle of 2014. Instead, the timeline is showing pictures from July 2015. This is not intuitive and makes navigation difficult. Shouldn't the Year markers be placed at the start of the year rather than the end?

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/web/src/lib/components/timeline/Scrubber.svelte#L143-L186

The code in question. The bug can be clearly seen as it's building the timeline top down and prints out the current year at the top of the array.

We agree that there is currently some unintuitiveness around the timeline (luckily that's resolved by hovering over the timeline and seeing the month and year). We'll need to think about the "fix" (I'm not sure I want to call it a fix as it's more just a behavior change/decision) and we can leave this open until then. I want to emphasize however that this is not a simple +-1 bug

This caused me so much confusion when moving to the app. I'm not sure its even a question of style.
This looks like a timeline, just like a ruler. And half way between two marks shouldn't be anything outside of this interval.
But I'm willing to learn: How do I need to think about this visual for it to make sense?

I haven't checked on web yet but on mobile the position of the timeline ticks still doesn't make sense.
