The site is actually readable if you turn off that awful css. Who thought removing white space from the titles and adding an obnoxious faux cursor were a good idea?
Most/all of the charts gain absolutely nothing from the interactive features either, a grouped histogram style chart could show the same information in a static image. It would be better actually, you could compare the groups side by side instead of relying on animations and hovering back and forth.
- applecrazy 9y agoI agree. On my relatively high speed internet connection on Chrome 63 (latest) running on a recent laptop, it took 55 seconds, 426 requests, and 2.6MB to load the first graph on the page. Sure, a lot of the loaded assets are in my cache for subsequent visits, but that initial load time is just...wow.
- mythrwy 9y agoThe content of those 426 requests weren't created for free. Part of the "high demand" developer skills I suppose. Adding gunk to the point you can't get the content. I'd guess sooner rather than later the pendulum is going to swing back to simplicity. Then having good sense about how to effectively portray something without tormenting everyone and wasting resources will be in high demand. As it always should have been.
