Highlight acceleration/decelleration trend #5

I know there’s the 2016 version, but I mean being able to compare in the same place if the project is accelerating or decelerating

For example Feathers went from +4.1k stars in 2016 to +2.9k in 2017, so it would seem to indicate that it’s losing speed while of course other projects are growing faster and faster. That could be interesting to highlight somehow.

For example instead of grey bars, we could have green bars when it’s a positive trend and red bars when it’s negative and show the increase on hover maybe, or next to the number of stars

When there was a graph for each category, I thought about using 2 bars by project:

the upper bar could be the number of stars added in 2017
the lower bar, in a lighter color, could be the number of stars added in 2016

Maybe there could be a button to toggle the view, for each category:

Table view: the table we display currently
Graph View: the bar graph, with 2016 and 2017 data

What do you think, does it make sense?

To me having multiple views sounds a little too complex, and it requires a lot of going back and forth for the user. I think having all the data on a single view would be better.
