Feature request: Adding a description for entries #134

Open mrded opened 9 months ago

mrded commented 9 months ago

It would be nice to have descriptions for entries. eg:

radar_visualization({
  ...
  entries: [
    { label: 'Foo', ring: RINGS.USE, quadrant: QUADRANTS.TOOLS, description: "very usefool tool" },
  ]
});

I have no preference how to show it. Perhaps a small popover on hover will be the best.

Thank you, great lib!

While you could find a section in the Tech Radar visualization to display more information about the technology, it will almost certain be lacking detail and heavily limited in formatting capabilities and size. As mentioned in our blog post and in #117, internally at Zalando we're using a documentation site as an knowledge base alongside the Tech Radar visualization.

+1 I like the way the original Thoughworks radar let you link to descriptions of each blip that included easy navigation back to the radar.
