Unexpected line chart behaviour
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Total open PRs, earlier this evening:
And after I've closed some PRs:
The whole right hand side of the graph has shifted downwards. My understanding is that the line chart is showing me the number of open pull requests I had in a given month. If that's the case, closing PRs now shouldn't affect the results for last month. Same thing is happening with the issues line chart.
There is related behaviour on the PRs open and closed this month which makes me suspect it is my expectation of what the graph is showing is wrong.
I think:
Open/close state for a given month
Looks like:
How many were closed in a given month, also how many are currently still open from that month.
That kind of makes sense for the bar charts, you have a log of your activity (closed) plus an indicator of the backlog and how many old PRs there are. A bit confusing without some explanation though.
Yup. The issue is that knowing how many were opened in a given month isn't really as helpful as knowing how many are still open, if you see what I mean. The goal is to do the intuitive thing rather than necessarily the mathematically correct thing. This may need some tweaking, of course.
