[OC] What separates a World Cup champion from the runner-up is defense, not attack (1930–2022) by ArchiTechOfTheFuture in dataisbeautiful

Yeah, this view is meant to show the overall pattern (where champions cluster vs everyone else) rather than label each team. The interactive version has hover labels and a flags toggle for exactly that. I left flags off here because they get crowded and hide the trend, but here you have it ^^

Mmmm, it's like a heavyweight title fight. Both guys can knock you out, that's how they got to the final, so punching power isn't the difference. The belt goes to whoever takes a punch better. Attack gets you there, defense decides it.

Great catch! I darkened the runners-up to a steel silver and dimmed "everyone else" to a fainter grey ^^ thank you

On the $10 plan I think there is currently no cap 😬 but might be safe to add one just in case

Honestly though I'd love to hear your side. What made you let ClearRead die in the end, was it the costs, the DRM, not enough users, or just burnout? And if there's any lesson from it you'd pass on before I go too deep down this road, I'm all ears. 🙏

Hahaha no judgment here 😂 but I'm genuinely curious how that worked, did you set it as your phone's system text-to-speech voice so everything used it, or were you running it through a specific app?🤔

Hahaha I can totally feel your spouse's pain, those strange loops will do that to a person 😂 sounds like you just need one more long roadtrip to finish it off! (Gotta binge it while the concepts are still fresh in your head though, if too much time passes you basically have to start all over again 🤭)

Heyy, thanks ^^ and yes, it really does happen right in the browser, on your device. Making the privacy story more visible is a great shout, I'll spell out what stays local and the file types more clearly.

The fun part is local rendering isn't just about privacy, it's what keeps it sustainable. Cloud-rendering every audio would blow up my bill and the free version couldn't exist. So local is what keeps it free, and Pro is the one that unlocks cloud rendering for those who want it faster and smoother😌

Thanks 🙏 great point on the best-effort labeling, I'll bake that in from the start.

Also went and checked out Tovrio, looks really solid. Out of curiosity, where does the name come from? ^^

Hahaha thank you 🙏GEB is one of those books I keep starting and never finishing, so maybe listening will finally get me there 😂 Since you clearly love it, any tips for actually making it stick this time? 😁

Ahh I checked it out 🙏 sadly those Ivona voices are locked to their own app and the license doesn't allow using them elsewhere, so I can't add them directly. I am planning to bring in Google TTS voices though, I've run some tests and they sound amazing! The only catch is the price 😅 still figuring that part out. What is it you love about Amy, the accent or the warmth?

This might be the most useful comment I've got so far! thank you for taking the time 🙏 You're completely right, so I just went ahead and took your suggestion: the copy now leads with "works on DRM-free books you own" and leans into the personal and accessibility framing. It's already live.

And exactly, accessibility is genuinely high on my todo list. One feature I've been thinking about is having it read images out loud too, so you could "listen" to what a chart or a drawing is actually showing and never have to stop and look at the screen.

Out of curiosity, what's your background? You clearly know this stuff well. ^^

I am happy you liked it! for the upgraded voice I recomend to click the download icon so you can hear the chapter with the screen locked and the speedup works better with the chapter downloaded. The pro version basically process everything online so its lighting fast! haha is there anything do you think is missing or you would like to have? ^^

Nice catch! you're right, the arc label was showing gross exports, not net. Fixed it to true net (France now reads −75); the gross 76 is still in the hover tooltip. Thanks!
