I bring criticism: The first few bars on my screen cannot be read, as the text is hidden behind the floating HUD. If I click on the next few bars, to bring those below the box, then the bar becomes too small and the text is cropped, so I cannot read it either. It is also a bit uncomfortable to read 90° text. It's fun to click the bars and play with the UI, but not to actually read what they say. It's a nice visualization, but it suffers from form over function! I can't comfortably use it to learn about the numbers I should know :(

I appreciate the feedback! I'm trying to get better and comments like this genuinely help. Are you reading on a landscape tablet? I know the sizes of stuff are wrong on that form factor. Desktop and mobile shouldn't have the first couple of bars obscured. The sideways text is meant to be a subtle nod to the fact the page scrolls sideways, but I agree it's not as nice to read as it would be were the text the right way around.

It is pretty bad. >> The sideways text is meant to be a subtle nod to the fact the page scrolls sideways, but I agree it's not as nice to read as it would be were the text the right way around. Then the subtle nod is lost on me... why not turn the text when I click, or have hover text, or make the whole page rotated 90 degrees? Like the original response, it was fun for one second, then I was like I can not read this stuff, or its painful.

  For me (pretty default FullHD desktop screen in landscape) the first bar is not obscured, but the next two are covered by the floating UI.

  I'm reading on a 1080p desktop. Although accounting for the browser chrome (bookmarks, tabs on the side), my window.inner{Width,Height} comes out as 1583x950

  Add some padding to bottom and use horizontal texts for "compressed" columns. It is big but unreadable in 4k 32inch screen.

  I’m on iOS and can’t see the bottom of any of the bars. They’re hidden behind the Safari controls at the bottom of the screen.
