More Customization on Custom Charts (Star Rating & Time Segments)

Hi! I LOVE Storygraph and I love the new(ish) custom charts feature. That said, I really wish we could make additional customization of the graphs, as most of the graphs I want to make currently are impossible. My "wish list" is below along with my own personal use case examples! I know it's a big list so this is roughly in the order of impact to my use of Custom Charts.

I would like to see star rating as additional option for an axis when making tag-based graphs. Specifically, I would like to be able to compare my average star rating across different tags I use. For example, I'd like to see my average star rating across each of my book subscriptions, which I am currently using tags to track. It would be AMAZING if I could automatically compare the average star rating for books tagged "Illumicrate" v. "FairyLoot YA" v. "FairyLoot Adult." It would be so helpful when deciding what subs to keep to easily be able to see, for example, if my average rating for Fairyloot Adult is <3.0 stars and to compare to my other subs.

I also think star ratings would be helpful folks that track tropes and other writing elements like POV to easily be able to identify if they tend to rate "Fated Mates" really poorly but tend to rate "Enemies to Lovers" really highly, for example, when deciding what books to add to their TBR and Storygraph preferences!

Also, I wish we could have time segments as an option on the X axis. For example, I have a tag for books on my priority TBR, and I'd love to track how many books I read off that list per month. So, ideally, I could select the time period as a full year, and then choose "months" for the X axis and see how many "Priority TBR" books I read per month (similar to the books/pages graph in the standard stats but only for books meeting the tag requirement).

Lastly, I would love to be able to have an "exclude" feature for tag segments. Again, using my priority TBR tag as an example, I'd love to use a pie chart to track the percent of books that I read off of my Priority TBR v. other sources. I think this could be accomplished with "exclude" functionality on the tags. So one segment would include "Priority TBR" and the other would exclude "Priority TBR."

As you can tell, I am a big data need (which is why I love Storygraph so much!!) so I totally understand that these requests might not have general appeal as it would probably take some tech-savviness to configure charts with this many options. But for my own use, these features would be absolute game changers in getting me to use the custom charts practically vs. just admiring the data. 😃

Hello! Thank you for your post!

For your first item, you can already compare two different tags and see the average star rating across them. Let me know if you need help finding that.

For the other two, can you please make individual posts, checking they don't already exist? That way it's easier for people to vote on specific things and for me to actually move a card through the roadmap all the way to "Shipped".

Also, what you see is only V1 of custom stats. Plenty more enhancements to come! :-D

NVM I figured it out lol
but you can only compare two, and you can also facet by date. It would be cool to make it a custom chart!
