Crispness of the visuals #7

Open jbenet opened 6 months ago

jbenet commented 6 months ago

The graphs and the typography isn't very crisp. It looks less good than other data vis tools. For ex compare starboard graphs vs dune graphs below.

I think the following matter:

choice of typography (go for crisper fonts, smaller font sizes, less use of bold)
elements shouldn't spill over into others
some of the icons should be smaller (unbalanced relative to small text next to them) (eg clock, calendar, the ( i ) )
some of the text should be a few points smaller (graph titles, section titles)

Hi @jbenet,

Thanks for your comments about the look and feel of the dashboard. We are in the process of refreshing the design of the dashboard, which addresses many of your comments here. Please stay tuned for our product update!

Have you come across Observable Framework? You can build pretty compelling visuals easily in a dashboard that lazy-loads the data from a variety of sources, including static json/csv files. Live demo.

Agree with @raulk -- observable framework would be a great upgrade.

In case it hells, during the last few months I've been using Framework to work on a website to surface Filecoin Metrics (code here showing how to read data from the Filecoin Open Data Portal).

Great way to quickly build a fully static dashboard (IPFS friendly!) and iterate quickly.

Would be a great tool to create an "ultrasound.money" style website for Filecoin.
