Description

The Sankey diagrams produced as part of the Hugo administrator report:

It would be neat to have those produced by NomNom.

Considerations:

  • Generate the diagram only on first read, and cache it until new vote data comes in
  • Display it only in the admin page
  • background task to generate it?

Research direction

Start by locating the Hugo administrator report and the admin page where its results are displayed, then trace how new vote data is detected. Define the Sankey diagram's first-read generation, cache lifetime, refresh trigger, and admin-only visibility; the background-task option remains to be evaluated.
