What do you like? What don't you like?
- michael_fine 14y agoI love the whole concept and execution, except I think the tweets should scroll by slightly slower, as sometimes you don't have time to read a tweet before it disappears.
- jdunck 14y agoYeah, it's a tough call. If we slow it down, we'd have to show fewer as the underlying stream is zipping by. We considered pause or pause-on-hover, but sort of assume people will glance at it, not stare at it, if that makes sense. Gestalt, not reading?
- nacker 14y agoNice! But on a netbook if I reduce the font to try to get both the Democrip and Rebloodlican halves on the screen, the Rebloodlican side just disappears.
- michael_fine 14y agoAlso, filtering options would be great, for example only viewing tweets from independents, or only ones that mention Romney.
- erikrose 14y agoGood ideas, all. There are a couple more debates. :-) In the meantime, if you want to play with filters, feel free to try this super-alpha toy I threw together the other day: https://www.votizen.com/twitter-fight/ https://www.votizen.com/twitter-fight/. It works on a rolling 24-hour window of Romney- or Obama-mentioning tweets. Buggy as heck, but fun to play with!
- jcampbell1 14y agoThis is clever and I find it highly entertaining to read all of the trolls and flamebait. The white flash when the graphs update is extremely irritating to me.
- dgouldin 14y agoFellow Votizen dev. I agree about the white flash. We decided to give nvd3 a try for charts, and it does that as part of its default animation. We'll probably disable animations or figure out some way to keep redraws from flashing like that.
- jcampbell1 14y agoAdd this to the CSS: div.chart {opacity: 1 !important;} It is a hack but should work.
- jdunck 14y agoWhoops, no, I did the flash to give a pulse impression. The transition is unavoidable, but I did the opacity animation on purpose. :)
- jdunck 14y agoI removed the on-update flash.

- MartinCron 14y agoI like the idea and the execution, I hate reading the quality of the tweets. I try not to be a snob, but yikes.
