I created http://www.recipastely.com/ to simplify recipe conversion between us and iso units a few years back. It's not perfect but it seems to work fine for me.

I think there is a small typo in the example on the page, there is a missing comma after the closing "watch"-bracket.

"I once attended a one-day course by the renowned Information Visualization educator, Edward Tufte."

And still they used doughnut charts.

Serious question, what's wrong with doughnut charts?

The same reason that pie charts are not very effective - it's relatively hard to make comparisons between angles instead of lengths like in a bar chart. It's probably even harder with a doughnut.

Here is a PDF article by Stephen Few about pie charts: http://www.perceptualedge.com/articles/08-21-07.pdf

That's a compelling article and I think I'm going to be a lot more cautious about using pie charts in the future, but the thin-doughnut design they're using here looks OK to me.

When you're summarizing coarse relative size across arbitrary categories, bar charts and tables give your selection of categories too much weight: everyone looks at the biggest bar or the biggest number and it's really hard to measure a long tail distribution visually.

If the message you're trying to send is, "nothing but X and Y matter, everything else combined is tiny", I still can't imagine a better visualization than a pie (or a doughnut).

You're absolutely right. Everyone harps on pie charts for being awful for element-to-element comparisons. This mainly stems from Tufte's work and experiments from Cleveland and McGill.

However, in part-to-whole relationship tasks, pie charts can outperform bar charts, since in bar charts there is no true "whole".

(In addition to Few's post, Kosara has more on this: http://eagereyes.org/criticism/in-defense-of-pie-charts)

A composite bar chart is like a pie chart that has been unrolled. The length of the bar is the "whole".

I think the angle vs. length argument is precisely what makes doughnut charts better than pie charts.

At least it's not a 3D pie chart.

This just opens the market up to build a carseat that solves this problem. How about a regular seat that can be folded out or transformed into a seat suitable for children?

Yes, let's blame the people that are trying to solve illegal file-sharing issues. Spotify is competing with free and they offer such a great service that people are willing to pay 10 euros a month for a subscription. Most of my friends use more money on music streaming services now than they ever did back when they where buying cd's, and these are people who have been "pirates" for the last 10 years or so.

Yes, I'm currently doing some consulting on a lotus notes application and the help contents in the Domino Designer IDE has a lot of useful documentation.

And note that there's a feedback option in every entry in Designer Help -- if something is unclear or misleading, you can point it out and/or suggest a fix. Lotus does pay attention to the Help feedback, and needed fixes are usually incorporated into the next point release. And since the Help file is just another NSF, you can edit your own useful changes, notes and examples into your own copy (or the copy that's usually installed on the server for the edification of others).

They do have multiple designs right now, just try to refresh the site. I'm guessing they are keeping track of the conversion rate on each of the designs and will change them once they have enough data points.

Those don't appear to be multiple designs, but a single design which randomly features different "stories."

Please don't submit spam to HN.

This is not spam, IMO. Awesome new technology which started at the MIT Media Lab which is completely unique to anything else on the market. I think HN is exactly the right demo to show this off to.

Please elaborate.
