| Hi @gvinciguerra, thanks for your reply! I mainly stated your solution is about the size of the index and not the values because others comments at the time questioned if it's possible at all. I wanted to add my bits trying to decipher what this is. :) I have implemented a custom index myself so I'm really interested in this stuff but I have to admit I don't understand the language used to explain it. I'm not sure who the audience is. If it's not only targeted at researchers but also random programmers out there, maybe consider adding either an ELI5 translation to things or more proof that it's worth investing time in this (eg. learning your lingo). For example, by adding performance charts. I totally missed that. Wow, looking at it again, I now see you have some charts at the bottom of your slides. I'm pretty sure 99% of your visitors did not find it. And even so, I'm not quite sure I understand those charts. My 2 cents: 1) Simplify them. Don't pack so much info in a single chart. This prevents me from getting to the AHA moment. Maybe show them on separate tabs. 2) Move this chart/these charts to the top of your home page. I knew this is about an index before landing on your site, so when I landed, I had exactly 1 question in my mind: Should I care? Your homepages did not answer that. I found links to papers which I don't even open as I believe they are huge time investment and I want to first figure out if I should invest more time. I was happy about the slides because slides are about selling the big ideas. It was better than the home page but in the end I left not having my only question answered. I saved the link. I will probably remember to look at it again when I have special requirements for an index. But I'm not motivated to invest more time right now, I'll keep reading my book in the mornings instead of your paper. (I'm sharing this so you can improve the site if you want.) |
