I've never seen something similar before either, and it is a very useful visualization.
I'm thinking about how to do something similar in my monitoring. How would you extend it to allow zooming on the X-axis? With a continuous log scale, or a simple linear scale, it's easy to know how to compress the data horizontally: take the min/max/avg of the datapoints that go in to one horizontal pixel. I'm not sure how to apply that to your discrete log scale; it seems to work on the assumption that points along the X-axis are discrete.
Edit: I said Y-axis, I meant X-axis. I'm embarrassed.

- LukeShu 9y agoI'm sorry, I meant X-axis. I'm embarrassed.
- apankrat 9y agoHa. Good question, actually. The simplest option would obviously be to just show a conventional candlestick when zoomed out. There might be an option to do something interesting with rendering the stick when min/max have the same higher-order factors... but it might also end up looking like a royal mess.
