- It's a donut chart, which is a terrible way to display ranking relationships.
- When you change the metric, the sorting gets lost.
- There are way, way, way too many colors.
- It's impossible to make any sense of this.
Whenever I see pie charts or donut charts, I immediately turn to bar charts as a way to communicate better. Some might call me boring, but I'm ok with that. Here's my makeover. Click on a metric to see it's value and to sort by that metric.
