Google: Charts — Work

2020

Charts

Is a suite of products that helps Android developers build, test, release, and manage apps on the Play Store. From Play Console for publishing and app performance analytics, to tools like Android Vitals, Pre-launch reports, and custom store listings, it empowers teams to optimise quality, user acquisition, and retention. It’s designed to support developers at scale—whether they’re indie creators or global app publishers.

Problem
There’s currently no Sankey Chart component or rules available across Play. Teams need a reusable solution to visualise data flows clearly and consistently.

Audience
Built for teams across Play development to visualise data flow and improve how they understand and manage information within their products.

01.

Interactions

The Sankey Chart allows users to visualise data flows with interactive features like hover-to-highlight, tooltips showing detailed metrics, and click-to-isolate paths. Users can filter by segments or time, expand or collapse nodes for more or less detail, and experience smooth transitions that maintain context as the chart updates—all within a fully responsive layout.

Connections &
tool tips

Nodes are designed with clear labels and scalable sizing based on volume, helping users instantly grasp key data points. Connections use smooth, curved lines with varying thickness to represent flow magnitude, ensuring relationships are visually intuitive. Tooltips are lightweight, non-intrusive, and surface key details—like counts, percentages, and labels—on hover, giving users immediate context without overwhelming the view.
