Did anyone else find the tables completely unreadable? Embedding them in a scrolling iFrame without anchoring the headers to keep half the screen whitespace just seems insane to me.



They could certainly be easier to use. Sticky left/top rows might help. A modal might help.

An interactive, filterable visualization for the timelines might help, too. The timeline could be greatly condensed if the exact change points were marked for a non-confusing number of functions.

Or perhaps a cheeky play on Minard's graph of Napoleon's Russia campaign, but with factors like the cost of compute instead of the temperature. Or on Munroe's flow graph of U.S. congress composition/ideology.


Use Shift + 'scroll wheel' when there is a (mouse) focus on the scrolling iframe.
