> The square "y-meter" idea is neat, but it's difficult to parse at a quick glance. A circle might be a better alternative, where the size and intensity of the circle indicate the strength of the story. Yes, yes, yes. It's funny because the "y-meter" is at the same time the thing that interests me the most & the thing that I find the most inscrutable. * The scaling feels off. Half the box means 51 points and the whole box means 401? In eighths, the transitions go {1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8} which just makes my head ache. * When you have crummy eyes some of the transitions are hard: [51,100] looks too close to [101,200] and [201, 400] and [400, +inf) is just impossible without squinting. Overall it feels like there is more noise than information, which is a bummer. Maybe if it scaled a little more smoothly or changed lightness as an added visual indication it'd work better for me. Of course if there's one thing everyone loves to do, it's bikeshed!
