Labella.js – placing labels on a timeline without overlap

It doesn't, it looks great! You try labelling 200 points right next to each other.

As an exercise, set it to 200 points, wait for it to generate (will take a while), pick a point and find its label visually. It's surprisingly easy. I was able to do it.

Of course, the difference is, this isn't a physical ribbon cable you're breaking out - online, you should just be able to hover over the point and have the label pop right up! :-D

I don't know about your machine, but on mine (8 core high end rig) it repaints horizontally in rows of 20 pixels, veeeery slowly. The end result is fine, but it definitely freaks out for a solid 3 minutes.

With the `simple` algorithm (arguably better, at least I can read the lines more easily then), 200 labels, and `rounds/tick` set to `100` or so it completes in just a few seconds on my laptop.

Yeah, 'simple' seems to be much more robust
