[DISCUSSION] show less tables if good visualization exists

[timosachsenberg]

Feature Description

e.g. File Names vs. Acquisition Times gives a good overview if rendered with violin plot (though I would use a different plot). even for large datasets.
should we make this the default? a good plot is better default than a table.
alternative plots could be something like this if we want to move away from violin plot

I think you need to raise these issues in the multiQC repo 😄 we are just reusing their functionality

I am wondering how difficult our own plots would be.

[timosachsenberg]

I thought you can in principle just do anything plotly can

In theory yes, with inline html.
Good luck figuring it out with the "extensive" documentation: https://docs.seqera.io/multiqc/development/templates#custom-plotting-functions
