Just a little thing to note, the timeline scroll bar dates are all smushed together and illegible on mobile

Thank you. The bubble chart in general looks bad on mobile and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Maybe rotate it 180 degrees?

Yeah, it's probably the easiest option to rotate it 90 or 45 degrees. Any other solutions I can think of would require significantly more development overhead. Not sure such a minor thing is worth too too much effort

It's less the label smushing and more the fact that the bubbles overlap that annoys me. This makes it hard to see what's going on on mobile on arguably the most important chart on the site.

Plausible.io tells me that for today for the spike from this comment, 70% of users were on mobile. I might try the rotation thing. Thanks for the feedback!
