No hate taken. The art is not the artist, etc. :)

I'm in the middle of writing up a self-reflective post about this and I just wrote the following:

"Ultimately, the way I'm presenting the data is egregious and unnecessary. I can see why people are annoyed about it. The extra visuals and interactions get in the way of what's being shown, they don't enhance it. Tapping around feels fun to me, but it isn't helping people understand. This experiment prioritised form way more than it prioritised function."

We've come to some of the same conclusions, though you in more detail than me. The idea about clicks not being idempotent wasn't something I ever noticed, but now you've said it I can't not.

If you're willing, I'd love to connect with you 1:1 and talk a bit more about this. My contact details are on my homepage.
