It might be worth considering a feature to time/schedule each flow's animation, rather than having them run in an infinite loop, all at the same time.
UX feedback:
* The animation and the whole interface are sluggish on firefox/linux. There's about 1 sec delay after each action (like clicking on an option).
* The site's CSS does not load on an old version of Chrome - v90 - (and the chart and animation don't either).
Well thought, sophisticated ways of modeling data for analytics purposes -using established approaches - are being replaced by just pulling data from the data sources - with barely any change in the source structure - into cloud data platforms.
In the past we used to model layers in a data-warehousing infrastructure each with a purpose and a data modelling methodology. For instance, an operational data store (ODS) layer, integrating data from all the sources, with a normalized data structure. Then a set of datamarts, each of them containing a subset of the ODS content, in a denormalized format, focused each on a specific functional domain.
We had rules, methods to structure data in order to get performant reporting, and a customer orientation.
Coming from this world, it seems like data governance principles are gone, and it feels like some organisations use the modern data stack same way as each analyst would be doing their own Excel files in their own corner, without any safeguards.
What do they need Google Analytics for? Is it a must-have or a nice to have? In my experience most small website owners have web analytics setup but barely ever check the reports.
Some alternatives:
* don't have web analytics at all
* self-host a Plausible Analytics or other open source analytics solution
* use the data from server-side access logs (for those using nginx, apache or other similar solutions)
* use Vercel web analytics' free tier (relevant for kanadojo which appears to be hosted there) - more privacy friendly than Google Analytics.
Many banks in EU countries make it mandatory to have their smartphone app installed in order to validate operations clients perform in their web browsers :/
They give you a hardware token that spits out some numbers and use that as your second factor instead. Usually after a lot more fiddling than a TOTP app would be.
Or they don't and tell you to use a different bank.
Some airlines (looking at you, Ryanair) really exploit the system. Cabin luggage can cost triple the price of the actual ticket, and that extra fee only pops up later on during the booking process.
What’s worse, you’re forced to buy a bundle with ‘Priority Boarding’ just to get cabin luggage - no option to buy it alone.
The ‘priority boarding’ option is a scam in itself: you pay extra just to stand around in a crowded corridor for about 30-40 minutes while the last passengers get off and the plane, then the cleaning crew takes the trash out of the plane. Ryanair planes don't seem to get cleaned anymore between two flights, no time for that.
> Some recycling is bought by other countries, but they buy it to use it, not to stack it into artificial mountains.
Any source for this?
A lot of plastic waste exports destination are in South-East Asia [0]. In the EU, with all its modern infrastructure and capacities, only 41% of the plastic packaging waste is being recycled [1]. So which portion of the imported plastic waste can we assume will be recycled in Malaysia?
Documentaries [2] and [3] support the opposite thesis as yours, stating that imported plastic waste is imply dumped.
The OECD report on Monitoring trade in plastic waste and scrap [3] indicates that even the ban on hazardous waste (Basel Ban) exports is not having any effect.

* All the text is at a readable size, and had sufficient contrast with the background.
* The clickable and interactive elements are easy to identify.
* Text is selectable and can be copied.
* There are no useless animations(there only to give a dynamic feel without having any function).
It might be worth considering a feature to time/schedule each flow's animation, rather than having them run in an infinite loop, all at the same time.
