Beautiful, but I don't want to see this in the wild. Knobs are bad for the same reason that pie charts are bad. Perceiving one-dimensional differences is easier

- inghoff 14y agoFor quantities, yes, but for ratios, I'd prefer pie charts and knobs. "75%/25% odds" would be nicer on a knob display, for instance.
- jowiar 14y agoNot really for ratios. If there's a min and a max, sliders make sense. You can make a better argument for a knob if you have an unbounded range, or an effectively unbounded one (making small adjustments on a large scale). Think old iPods.
