Relative time frames about fathom

[ziburski]

With the datepicker now added and basically showing rows or blocks of "this" (eg this month is the initial datepicker view) I think that tilted the preset periods to be slightly better off using relative time frames?

To me, it’s just that “last x days” is vastly more useful and what I want 90% of the time. I don’t usually need to map the data to a static view of this specific week / month, I just want to figure out past trends. Using the date picker for switching is pretty tiresome, especially if I want to adjust it every time for the last x days.

Maybe others have different use cases though.

Also not sure if this is at all clear, but you can click the dates in the top right corner to open up a datepicker and set your own custom date ranges. Did you notice? If not, we should do something about that too. :)

The UI is very clean, so it’s easy to figure out. But yeah, making them a little more clickable might be good.

Have a nice weekend! :)

That does indeed look nice @albinekb, thanks for sharing! The presets they use look to make sense for me as well.

Hey Lennart,

We've been contemplating this when we initially started the work on a rough version 1 and were torn between the two: "this" vs "last" periods.

I like how Firebase Analytics did this:
