Agree.

New UI is just a cool animation, but it is unreadable on a 4K 32-inch screen.

Old UI is intuitive and doesn't require 10 pages of instructions and you can actually see numbers and labels all the time.

If you're willing, I'd love a screenshot of what you see on a 4K 32-inch screen. You can find my contact details on my homepage.
What aspects of this are unreadable? Is it all a bit too big? Does there need to be a way to identify the columns after they’re off screen that doesn’t involve tapping on them again?
My screen is big enough to show labels of those numbers.

It is impossible to see times and text labels at the same time.

I am not going to remember what that 100ms was when I am changing years.

Sorry, want to dig in a little bit here to help me improve for next time. I really appreciate your replies.

When you say it’s impossible to see times and text labels at the same time, are you aware you can move each bar to any height on the screen? They move to the height of the cursor when you click. It’s extremely unobvious, I know, I’m sorry.

It always frustrated me a little that it's hard to use on mobile, so I had a go at making something a bit different. Did my best to give credit to Colin. :)
