In-browser link popularity visualization Project update Roman Rudenko CPSC 533C: Information Visualization

Goal ● Show outgoing and incoming traffic statistics in- page, inside the browser ● Allow skewing display to expect higher performance from links that have better position and larger size

Example mockup

Finished so far

● A very basic JS renderer to display element overlays ● Preliminary customization of browser chrome

TODO ● Retrieve and preprocess link statistics ● Make Opera fetch statistical data with UserJS ● Make overlay placement sane (overlap avoidance) ● Provide some PNG file generator to get all the different colour shades on demand ● = OR = ● Try SVG instead

Potential pitfalls ● Handling page reflows properly ● Dodging browser bugs
