Scale on visuals #261

Open jan-vandenberg opened 1 week ago

jan-vandenberg commented 1 week ago

I run 3 other stats plugins atm to compare them all to Koko, all have their own specific benefits 🙈

Example: image image

These graphs have pretty much the same numbers. (To be fair/clear: Posts View Counter starts at the beginning of the month, Koko only shows the last two weeks). The graphs are side by side in my WordPress Admin dashboard. But even without X or Y axis it is still IMMEDIATELY clear with the Posts View Counter plugin that there is quite a bit of uptake in visits compared to the day before. With Koko it is not as clear that today has more visits than yesterday. I think the visuals or scale might be tweaked a bit to represent this better?

Hi @jan-vandenberg,

Do I understand correctly that you would like a line graph instead of the current bar graph? Or should there simple be more grid lines in the graph that is used by Koko Analytics?

I am not sure what would work better: but a graph being a visual representation, should always immediately make clear if there is uptake or not. So more gridlines might work?

This is more or less the same data; but from one graph it is clear something is up (literately) from the other you would have to squint ;) image
