based on a thread from @purple discord between @0xgeist and @ccarella.eth regarding the farcaster apps landscape, trying to visualize it based on farapps.farcase.xyz data. quick poll. both graphs convey the same information. which one do you think is more informative: 1. top 2. bottom https://i.imgur.com/oUUru3h.png

Is this showing number of apps in each category? Assuming it is, but might make it more clear to be explicit on the graph. Prefer top graph. btw, congrats to Portugal on advancing in the World Cup! Please go easy on South Korea on Friday :)

2, but use different shades at least!

Neither is good. Just a bar graph would be better

Top is more dramatic, bottom is more precise. The problem is that having a pie chart with each slice having the same hue implies that there is only one category. If it were me, I’d have a pie with different colored slices.

Top graph is known to be bad info viz. The area of the thing is dependent on (arbitrary) ordering of the categories. You can easily lie with that sort of visualization. Category: A B C D E F G H Thing 1: 10 9 8 7 4 3 2 1 Thing 2: 4 10 3 9 2 8 1 7 Thing 1 and 2 are "equally good" but Thing 1 *looks* way better.

Top by a mile - much easier to visually digest, even at a quick glance. Simply more visually appealing, too, imo
