TimeScroller is an effort to reproduce the nifty view that hovers beside the scroll bar in the Path app.

In a UIViewController that contains a UITableView simply create a new TimeScroller object _timeScroller = [[Timescroller alloc] initWithDelegate:self]; And conform to the TimeScrollerDelegate protocol

//The UITableView that you'd like the TimeScroller to be in
- (UITableView *)tableViewForTimeScroller:(TimeScroller *)timeScroller {
    return _myTableView;
  }

//The date for a given cell
- (NSDate *)dateForCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell {
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [_tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
    NSDictionary *dictionary = [_datasource objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    NSDate *date = [dictionary objectForKey:@"date"];
    return date;                        
}

And let the TimeScroller know what's happening with the UITableView by using UIScrollViewDelegate

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
  [_timeScroller scrollViewDidScroll];       
}

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
  [_timeScroller scrollViewDidEndDecelerating];
}

- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
  [_timeScroller scrollViewWillBeginDragging];
}

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate {                  
  if (!decelerate) {                        
    [_timeScroller scrollViewDidEndDecelerating];                                      
  }                                               
}

Thanks to Path for making great new UI and moving the bar higher. Thanks to @bsirach for helping with design! Also thanks to everyone who has contributed bug fixes and features to the project!
