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.

If I move bar to the height of the screen, so I can see what is text label, then I cannot see how many ms this bar is, because bar is 100% height.

I have to make bar smaller (hide text label) to see time, but then I cannot see the text label.

I want to compare something in middle (memory read) and last bar (CA->Ned) at the same time.

Ahh yes, that makes sense. Thanks for helping me understand that, definitely reduces the utility of the visualisation.
