Introducing Pie Charts
Pie charts are simple, elegant, and serve a distinct purpose: how does ‘this’ compare to ‘that’ when taken as a whole.
Right after 0.4.5 was launched, I became curious. ’How many report exports have I created - and how popular are they?’ I wondered. Fortunately, Bluyah tracks ‘views’ for each export type. We are doing it for internal measurements, primarily, as it helps us determine where we need to invest our optimization time. But after throwing together a quick report query, I realized that (1) this would be a great feature for users to have for their own accounts (more about this later), and (2) I was surprised by the results.
Turns out the Marquee containing Mac World news posts that I added to the DiMax website last weekend is getting more eyeballs than anything else I’ve created so far. (Truthfully - I would have expected the chart I put together comparing Max Unemployment Rates since 1948 to garner more interest - but maybe people aren’t yet ready to hear that news…)
What were you saying about Pie Charts?
Which brings me back to my point. Just saying that as a sum Marquees are my most-served export type is all well and good. But showing you how each type compares is even more effective:
