What people liked

  • Useful, original take on coronavirus dashboards

    From 2 comments
    • Very genuinely curious, do most people consider these "UX" instead of "UI"? For me, I'd like to be able to click or at least copy/paste the titles of the studies shown on the…

    • Hey, this looks really good! Didn't even know that the information about those studies was accesible. I don't understand the phases meaning, can you explain them? Maybe a table…

Objections

  • Hard-to-read low-contrast thin font

    From 3 comments
    • Making this information accessible is amazing work, thank you! But, alas, it loses a lot in the UX department: 1) It's low-contrast. This makes it hard to read for a lot of…

    • Minor bugbear: the thin font used does not lend itself to rendering nicely in Firefox 74 running on a GNOME 3.36 linux install with subpixel font antialiasing:…

  • Sorting by expected finish date works on strings, not dates

    From 3 comments
    • Sorting by expected finish date seems be broken - it sorts by strings

    • Thanks for the site. Bug report: Looks like sort by expected finish works on strings instead of dates.

  • Missing some trials, such as Chinese studies

    From 3 comments
    • I noticed that this study is not on the list: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04264533 What is the criteria for choosing studies that show on this list?

    • First thing I checked, sadly missing considering the amount of medical field data on it coming out of China/East.

    • Also the University of Minnesota Losartan trial: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04312009 Probably don't have to look far to find another dozen or so.

  • Duplicate entries in lists

    From 2 comments
    • Looks cool. There's a lot of double entries. Is that in the data or is it a glitch?
      projektfu on HN
    • The table "News articles on COVID-19 Treatments" shows a duplicate "FDA authorizes chloroquine for use in treating coronavirus"

  • Make trial entries clickable to their trial pages

    From 1 comment
    • Minor feedback - I wish I could click on a trial on a map to go to that trial page.

  • Is there efficacy information for each treatment?

    From 1 comment
    • This is great, is there any information somewhere about the efficacy of each treatment? I'm on mobile and may have missed it.
