Line charts might look trendier but they don't apply to every case.

When the x-axis has limited options, a bar chart is the most appropriate graph type.

Plus, the line chart might introduce false intermediate values.

For the specific example, let's say that you only had data for the total monthly orders (not individual days)

The line chart makes the data look daily, which is incorrect!

Make Tooltips Responsive

The classic tooltip is activated once the user hovers over the element... On desktop, this works perfectly! However mobile devices don't support the hover effect To deal with this, add a clickable help icon next to your button. When the mobile user taps on the icon, show the complementary tooltip text.

Padding On Rounded Cards

The left cards use the same padding around the card. Yet the visual result seems off. A quick fix is to make the padding larger when the element on the edge is not round - like icons and text. The rule of thumb is to use **double the padding** on the edge which is not round.
