that works well for linear data, but this data is not linear. and I think that is why the graph isn't very dynamic.

ok
2023-06-26 17748, 2023
arsh
You have any suggestions
2023-06-26 17722, 2023
mayhem
but I think for now you should move on to other things. I'll have a play later today or tomorrow -- this is a problem I need to solve for another project as well. one solution would be good for both.

Ok that's really helpful
2023-06-26 17748, 2023

have you tried making the text bigger for a bigger bubble? and on two lines?
2023-06-26 17719, 2023
arsh
I have tried but there seems to be no easy way to do it
2023-06-26 17728, 2023
arsh
I can try looking up a bit more though
2023-06-26 17745, 2023
arsh
I did more work on the colors
2023-06-26 17721, 2023
arsh
And for the color scheme is it good or needs some changes

I did talk to aerozol: and he suggests we use a diverging pallete with one color from top track and another from top album
That was the first pass, I didn’t get any feedback

If it slowly changes gradients every time you click it should look very nice and dynamic. But if it’s too hard to implement then I can come up with something else
2023-06-26 17741, 2023
mayhem
yeah, sorry slipped off my plate today. will look in the morning
2023-06-26 17734, 2023
mayhem
does the palette change a tiny bit for each click? making a revolution around the hue circle?
2023-06-26 17723, 2023
aerozol
This example is based on an idea of arsh’s to use huesound to grab the colours from the two covers pictured. But if huesound doesn’t work/is too intensive then we can randomise it. Or go around the hue circle - but random could be fun, since the colours used aren’t overwhelming (they fade out to 20% on the outside, bg is 20% as well)
ok good. what sorts of things do you see that need to be fixed/implemented still?
2023-06-26 17704, 2023
mayhem
the text needs work, for sure.
2023-06-26 17724, 2023
mayhem
the overall size of it need to scale to take up 85% of the window
2023-06-26 17756, 2023
aerozol
A few things (comparing it to the mockup), do you mean colours specifically?
2023-06-26 17715, 2023
mayhem
I'm generally in favor of coming to a stopping point on the graph as soon as possible, since there are many other things to do still. we can come back later to do more tweaking if there is time.
2023-06-26 17702, 2023
mayhem
overall -- I get the idea you're shooting for for color. I think I will guide arsh to implement the walk around the hue circle for an initial version and then move on.
2023-06-26 17737, 2023
aerozol
Right, I don’t know your schedule. But without the gradient and the colours converging towards them it’s not like the mockup
2023-06-26 17713, 2023
mayhem
understood -- he is working on the gradient now.

👌
2023-06-26 17730, 2023
mayhem
what do you mean by colors converging?
2023-06-26 17750, 2023
mayhem
or do you mean background gradient.
2023-06-26 17707, 2023
mayhem
I guess, yes, I have questions about the colors. :)
2023-06-26 17750, 2023
mayhem
in your mock-up the graph is more or less in circles, which is not how things are shaking out in the demo.
2023-06-26 17703, 2023
mayhem
which means assigning 4 colors is somewhat arbitrary.
2023-06-26 17714, 2023
aerozol
The circles are hue A (at %100) fading towards hue B (at %20) as it goes towards the outside. The background gradient is hue A and hue B both at 20%

I've asked arsh to work on coloring the bubbles based on the distance between the innermost circle and the outermost circle.
