Someone submitted an issue on Github to add labels on links (i.e. lines) and I think it's a great idea for a v1. In my mind, the animations won't get in the way of reading the labels, but implementation will tell! I will also probably implement them like I implemented titles on systems, which is to avoid routing links over them. > "Animated diagrams" are great for generating engagement on social media, but in practice an animated line doesn't tell you anything an arrow wouldn't. Instead of showing a little green box moving from system A to system B, I could have shown static arrows alongside the link between system A to system B, or something similar. I chose the moving green box as it represents the data flowing in the system, in a tangible / concrete manner. It communicates: - A data is created/produced/etc. at system A. - The data is transferred/copied/moved/etc. to the system B. - The data is received/consumed/etc. by the system B. |
