@copilot I see the datapoints on your example output, but I don't see the "bright red line" (used to be called yellow brick road) on the graph. |

@copilot Could we improve the bright red line rendering using ascii rounded corner characters? I've used ascii graph rendering libraries in the past that achieved this. |
- Add getRoadCharacter() function for smooth ASCII road line rendering - Use rounded corner characters (╭╮╯╰) when road changes direction - Add division by zero protection and array bounds checking - Update terminology from "yellow brick road" to "bright red line" Co-authored-by: narthur <4655422+narthur@users.noreply.github.com>
Added rounded corner characters (╭╮╯╰) in commit 32ef425. The road line now uses these characters when the road changes direction for a smoother visual appearance.

Pull request overview
This PR adds ASCII chart visualization to the buzz review command, displaying goal progress with datapoints and the yellow brick road within the Beeminder API's tmin/tmax timeframe. The implementation includes lazy-loading of detailed goal data with caching to minimize API calls.
Key Changes
- Added chart rendering functionality with configurable dimensions showing datapoints, road line, and appropriate visual indicators based on goal type (do-more vs do-less)
- Implemented lazy-loading pattern for goal details with caching to avoid redundant API calls when navigating between goals
- Extended
Goalstruct with chart-related fields:Yaw,Dir,Kyoom,Roadall,Tmin,Tmax

| // getRoadValuesForTimeframe calculates road values for each datapoint timestamp |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The function comment states it "calculates road values for each datapoint timestamp" but the function actually calculates road values for each column in the chart (based on numPoints parameter), not for each datapoint. The comment should be updated to accurately reflect this, e.g., "calculates road values for evenly distributed points across the timeframe".

| segValue = v |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The code doesn't validate that segment and nextSegment arrays have the expected number of elements before accessing them. If a segment has fewer than 3 elements (e.g., missing the rate at index 2), the code will proceed with rate = 0 (line 592), but if it has fewer than 2 elements (missing the value at index 1), accessing segment[1] at line 594 will cause a panic. Consider adding length validation before accessing array elements.

| } |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The code checks len(lastSegment) > 1 before accessing lastSegment[1], but the same validation is missing for earlier segments at line 594 where segment[1] is accessed. This inconsistency suggests the check at line 617 was added to prevent a panic, but the same check should be applied to all segment array accesses.

| legend := "Legend: ● = on good side ○ = on bad side ─ = bright red line █ = on target" |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The legend states "bright red line" but the road line characters are rendered without any color styling applied. The road line is rendered in the default terminal color, not red. Either apply red color styling using lipgloss (e.g., lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("9"))) to the road characters, or update the legend text to accurately reflect the actual rendering (e.g., "─ = road line").
| goalType := "Do More" | ||
| if goal.Yaw == -1 { | ||
| goalType = "Do Less" |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The code assumes goal.Yaw is either 1 or -1, but doesn't handle other potential values. If goal.Yaw is 0 or any other value, the goal type will default to "Do More" (line 437-440), which may be incorrect. Consider adding validation or a default case to handle unexpected Yaw values explicitly.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The datapoint positioning logic doesn't correctly map datapoints to their actual timestamps on the chart. Line 466 uses dpIndex = (col * len(processedDatapoints)) / chartWidth, which distributes datapoints evenly across columns regardless of their actual timestamps. This means a datapoint that occurred at the start of the timeframe will be rendered incorrectly if there are other datapoints. Instead, calculate the timestamp represented by each column based on the timeframe (startTime to endTime), then find the nearest datapoint to that timestamp.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When parsing date strings fails (lines 573-576 and 583-586), the code silently continues with segTime or nextSegTime remaining as 0 (their zero value). This means unparseable date strings will be treated as Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970), which could lead to incorrect road value calculations. Consider logging the error or returning an error from the function to make parsing failures explicit.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The Init() function fetches goal details but doesn't set m.loading = true, so the loading indicator won't be displayed during the initial fetch. Consider setting loading to true in the initialReviewModel function (line 34) when there are goals, or return a batch command from Init() that both sets loading state and fetches details.

@copilot The output isn't correct yet I don't think. |
For cumulative goals, now calculates running sum from ALL datapoints before filtering to timeframe. This ensures datapoints within the visible timeframe show their true cumulative values, which correctly positions them relative to the road line. Co-authored-by: narthur <4655422+narthur@users.noreply.github.com>
... Fixed in commit be3ff57. The issue was that for cumulative goals, we were only summing datapoints within the filtered timeframe instead of calculating the running sum from ALL datapoints. Now the code correctly calculates cumulative totals from all historical datapoints before filtering, so datapoints show their true cumulative values relative to the road line.

@copilot Seems like it's looking better, but the corners are in the wrong place. Would it be easier if we used something like asciigraph? |
Replace custom ASCII chart rendering with asciigraph library for: - Cleaner, more professional looking graphs - Proper line interpolation and rendering - Built-in multi-series support (datapoints vs road line) - Better handling of edge cases The chart now shows datapoints in blue and the bright red line in red, with a caption explaining the colors.

@copilot It's looking much better, but still inconsistent. The graph for the active goal looks great: But the graph for many other goals shows both lines as completely flat even though looking at Beeminder's graphs they are steadily increasing. Example, auto: |
- Always add starting point at beginning of timeframe with correct cumulative sum for cumulative goals - Improved interpolation between datapoints for smoother lines - Fixed condition to allow startSum of 0 when there are datapoints - Optimized prepend operation using pre-allocated slice Co-authored-by: narthur <4655422+narthur@users.noreply.github.com>
Fixed in commit e3cf30e. The issue was that for cumulative goals, when datapoints are sparse within the visible timeframe, the chart wasn't showing the correct starting value. Now:
This should fix goals like "auto" that have sparse datapoints within the visible timeframe. |
|
@copilot This did not fix the issue. Also the data for auto is not sparse. I think the issue is that it's showing the bright red line at 0 instead of where it should be, near 2500. So since the scale of the graph for the range is so large (incorrectly), it appears that the data line is flat. So I think the issue may just be the bright red line. |
When the visible timeframe starts before the first road segment in Roadall, the road value was incorrectly returning 0. Now extrapolates backwards using the first segment's value and rate, which fixes the issue where the road line appeared at 0 causing a compressed Y-axis.
