Oh for sure - your feedback is totally helpful, I agree the colors are not obvious (especially red being good), perhaps my tone sounded dismissive but that was not the intention at all - symtom of a quick response from my phone! I'll definitely work on improving the readability of the colors and what it means (tricky to find the balance between nerdily over explaining how it works)
replyIf there was a key explaining what the colors meant that would be great. And maybe the option to select colors or pick between a couple of alternatives - i think in western culture green is good but in Chinese i think they normally think of red as the best - just being able to swap between those two defaults would probably be enough - thanks for your hard work - much appreciated
replythe color allocation is closer to chinese symbolism than western. You don't need to change it, just describe it somewhere, probably with a rainbow strip, maybe bottom right, like a scale symbol on a map.
replyOh good point - I was thinking more like "how hot is this deal" (and thus red == best) as opposed to just "good or bad".
replyNow when clicking on the 'dealscope' button there's a little modal which tries to clear it up a bit.
>Yellow being more optimal than green is very far from intuitive to the rest of us
replyDisagree. Yellow as a progression away from the green/blue (that fade away into gray) towards red is quite obvious.
Yeah. It was so obvious to me I didn't think about it until I read the comments. Makes sense that it would trip some people up, though.
