Improvements

Got an interesting idea on how to improve OMR? Share it!

Hi,

your OMR-project seems to be a good alternative to OMI, thanks for that :)
I know your're just building up the page, but i hope in "what is OMR?" or somewhere else you'll write some informations like how OMR works, what counts in, how often the chart is updated and not only what it does.

Do not worry it's already really what you do is cool that you're busy because I would not be able to do all this! Nickel :-)))

Hi, thanks for the awesome replacement for OMI!

Here's some improvements that came in to my mind:

1. I would like to be able to view the list of the "other" tags.
2. Would be nice if the tags had colors on their side so I could see which tag is which part of the pie-image.
3. Black theme
4. Tags with space have "+" as the space, e.g. "death+metal"

pirate-pl, are you considering removing the calculation of the number of users which used a tag any time soon? i know a lot of people who would use the OMR if it wasn't from that one thing. it's by far the biggest inconvenience, then it would be the looks but the new green version actually looks good.

Great!

A few of those tags are descriptive of the music though, and should not be filtered out, like 90s, 00s and singer-songwriter. They actually give information about the kind of music one listens to, and are tags that can give you a feel of the music taste of someone.

"favorites" and "awesome" are totally meaningless though, and should be filtered out. I guess "favorites" can give some sort of hint about the degree to which someone listens to hits, for example, but certainly not useful enough to justify it being in the pie. "awesome" is probably even more meaningless.

Finally, OMR got some new themes! Check them out at http://omr.musiqum.net . Apart from 8 default themes (green, red, blue, aqua, high contrast, black and white, beige, orange) there is a "custom" option, where you can specify your own configuration :)

If you encounter any interesting color combination, please inform me, I'll set them as default.

current default configurations are:

'green' = ('00ff00','000000');
'red' = ('ff0000','000000');
'aqua' = ('00f6ff','000000');
'blue_to_black' = ('009cff','000000');
'beige' = ('490a0a','e5c3c3');
'high_contrast' = ('ff0000','000cff','2aff00');
'orange' = ('ff9c00','000000');
'black_and_white' = ('000000','eeeeee');

I'm very happy with OMR. :)
But there's often something to imrpove good things and so here is...
I'd like to choose which "top xx tags"-percentage is shown in the graph (maybe this information should be displayed to).
And for the calculation there would be an option nice, to show all your tags if you want, because i can't believe that in all the "top xx tags" the number of tags is the same. In my case that's just 30 tags...
I think that in "top 20 tags" are less tags than in "top overall tags".
Maybe all my scrobbled music ist just so similiar that top 20 oder top overall for tags doesn't matter.. don't know... i hope it isn't so. :/

this is what I'm just working on. I hope to introduce personal accounts with 10 custom slots soon

I think you could consider making the chart larger in width so the longer tags(i.e 'melodic death metal', 'atmospheric black metal', etc) wouldn't overlap the percentages column anymore.
Maybe provide different options for dimensions of the badge(e.g. "wide" or "skinny").
Worth remembering that omi chosen dimensions were to fit the shorter space in people's profiles of old last.fm design, but things are different now. =)

There are many tags with some different variations (e.g. "electronic, electronica", "drum and bass, dnb, d&b, drum'n'bass etc") so "ignore tags" user option will be quite good

Or merge tags.
