Blue Score Navigator proposal about dagviz HOT 4 OPEN

אני אוהב את זה

There is already a lot going on here so I would go with Option 2, the cleaner version. But how will the user know that there is actually a navigation bar ? The only way is to click (touch on mobile) so the navigation appears.

You are right, users won't know there is a navigation bar until they interact.
One cue that there is more blocks off screen is that the DAG goes off screen. As soon as they pan/drag there, the navigation bar controller that was hidden will appear - and can catch the eye.
I think users are used to scrolling/panning on the web; this is standard/expected behavior.

I made another option. what do you think?
By default, the current location on the blue score axis is not shown. (clean)
When panning the viewport, the blue score axis and the current location within the blue score axis is shown.
When dragging the blue score navigator, or (desktop) hovering anywhere on it, the dragged/hovered location is shown bigger and has some shadow.

Desktop proposal to match the mobile one.
