Roadmap: Implementation plan for time series visualization

Roadmap for TimeSeriesChart Implementation

This issue defines the logical order of implementation for the time series visualization components. Following this order will allow us to progressively build functionality while maintaining a usable component at each stage.

Implementation Order:

1. Base TimeSeriesChart (Issue #26) - PRIORITY 1

   • Implementation of the base component with D3.js
   • Fundamental structure on which everything else will be built
   • Estimate: 25-30 hours

2. Downsampling and Data Aggregation (Issue #28) - PRIORITY 2

   • LTTB algorithm and aggregation functions for handling massive datasets
   • Will enable working with large datasets from the beginning
   • Estimate: 25-34 hours

3. Zoom and Brushing (Issue #27) - PRIORITY 3

   • Interactive functionality to explore specific time ranges
   • Integrates with downsampling to maintain performance
   • Estimate: 18-27 hours

4. API Integration (Issue #29) - PRIORITY 4

   • Connection with real data sources and zoom/brush-based loading
   • State management and basic caching
   • Estimate: 19-27 hours

5. UI and User Experience (Issue #30) - PRIORITY 5

   • Tooltips, controls, and visual indicators
   • General interface improvements
   • Estimate: 17-24 hours

6. Performance Optimization (Issue #31) - PRIORITY 6

   • Final optimizations for performance with massive datasets
   • Done at the end when a functional component already exists
   • Estimate: 20-28 hours

Total Estimated Time

• 104-139 hours (approximately 13-17 work days)

Considerations

• Issues Integrate TimeSeriesChart with measurements API and implement data loading strategy #29 (API) and Improve UI and user experience for time series visualization #30 (UI) could be developed in parallel once the first three are completed, if there is more than one developer
• Each issue already has the specific tasks to be completed defined
• Some functionalities have been simplified to fit time constraints
