ARIA is great. /s
If aria-current had an HTML equivalent, this person probably wouldn’t have found aria-activedescendent and used it wrongly. It’s one of the main reason I want stuff that works well to get HTML equivalents. This should be a no-brainer.

Did you know undergrads at Oxford in 1335 were solving homework problems about objects moving with constant acceleration? This blew my mind.
As I explained yesterday, medieval scientists were deeply confused about the connection between force and velocity: it took Newton to realize force is proportional to 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛. But in the early 1300s, a group of researchers called the Oxford Calculators made huge progress in understanding objects that move with changing velocity.
They discovered something called the Mean Speed Theorem: an object moving at constant acceleration over some period of time goes just as far as if it were moving uniformly with the velocity it had at the middle instant of its motion!
That's really cool. But it gets better. They gave homework problems called 'sophisms' to the students of Merton College at Oxford. And in 1335, one of them named William Heytesbury wrote a book called 𝑅𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑚𝑠, which gives us a look at what these problems were like. Some of them required students to know the Mean Speed Theorem!
Later in the 1300s, Nicolas Oresmus in Paris gave a picture proof of the Mean Speed Theorem. For example, he pointed out that the triangle ACG below has the same area as the rectangle ACFD.
Why did it take so long for Galileo to rediscover this stuff? How did the knowledge of the Oxford Calculators get lost?

Really the best visualization of this dataset so far!
I find it confusing that only even years like 2000, 2002, etc. are listed. Did you skip every 2nd year? If data for each two years is accumulated please write "2000-2001" in the key.
May a make two (edit: three) suggestions:
a) write "2000 f." for 2000–2001 like common for giving page numbers in citations.
(I just learned that "f." is for giving someone’s birthdate in Swedish 😁 )
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/f.#Adje…
b) Use "≤" or "≥" mathematical operators. As the key is most probably read from the top to the bottom maybe give the lower number year instead like
- ≥ 2023
- ≥ 2021
- ≥ 2019
- …
- < 2000
c) short form 2000/01 to 2023/24
You’re so quick! I find this better than take 4, for sure.
If you want to minimize text space I’d consider this the optimal solution.
But to be honest I think it’s a bit too technical even—for software people. it takes a moment to understand this means each color represents two years …
More than ½ h after posting my suggestions I tend to think option C (that I added to the post) might be the most common notation: just "2023/24". Don’t you think? At least Germans use that a lot.
@dboehmer for me, reading the graph part makes everything very clear. Like, the year number is just a point in time, at the transition between two years (e. g. black covers 2010-2012).
It would also be possible to work with dashes, like saying "up to 2002", though that needs a different numbering then:
- 2000
- 2002
- 2004
