I think the vertical scale needs tweaking. When reviewing a page history, someone is unlikely to care whether a diff was +1 or +2 characters but the difference on the bar height is quite noticeable, while the difference between a +200 and +800 diff is barely discernible unless they are next to each other. I would suggest that +1 through +10 be identical at a pixel past zero, smoothly transitioning to logarithmic (which I assume it is now) somewhere around +100?

Hey @VQuakr!

Thanks for your feedback. You are right, at the moment it's a logarithmic algorithm taking into account what the overall maximum change size in the visible changes is. I agree, that this could be improved to better fit reviewers needs. I created a ticket for your request in Phabricator, so we can consider it for further improvements:

Similar further thought on maximizing the usefulness of the vertical scale - I won't much care if someone blanked 25% or 100% of a page; either way it's the diff I am looking for if I wonder where a chunk of content went. So the maximum end of the scale maybe should be the greater of either the largest edit in the visible range or some value less than 100% of the page size (I suggest 25%) with anything larger being off scale high/low ie, the largest magnitude.

Thanks!
