It's still in draft. likely to change. Also, it's for the save api, won't get the required info there.

Most of the controls in Vandal are designed to allow quick navigation to specific snapshots. But I do see a use case for a feature like "jump to year" .

Makes sense . I will dig in to this further. Am sure wayback provides this detail somewhere in it's api.

That would indeed work. But the utility of Vandal is to not just support navigation but also to present an alterative vision for time-travel :D.

I understand. It sounds awful. The use-case here being the built-in browser requires host permissions to all url's for navigation purposes. Removing it causing access issues when navigating to a another page through a link within the webpage.
