Comment on Stripe Blog: Track Stripe's uptimeparent

Something that I think would also be nice would be if the dates were most recent on the left and oldest on the right. English is read left to right, so left should be the most relevant when displaying data and right being the least relevant, where most relevant = today and least relevant = 90 days. To me closest to where I start reading = closest to the current time.

We did have it going the other direction at first, but it didn't feel right.

Almost all time-series data is represented with old data on the left, new data on the right. (Stock charts, etc.) The way you have https://status.stripe.com/ set up makes sense to me.
