In the first 2 years following the initial release, the Pharos team frequently demoed the site, with a focus on obtaining user feedback, which provided the user-centered design information needed as Pharos underwent a ground-up rewrite in late 2018. By focusing on user needs, such as improving the target details page hierarchy and navigation, and adding more detailed explanations of the terms and ideas represented within Pharos, we were able to streamline target presentation, and simplify many pages. Many tables were swapped with sortable list elements, akin to a shopping site, allowing more data to be shown than a table would allow and also allowing us to display dynamic data as desired. Pharos was also redesigned with a focus on mobile usability, adjusting styles and visualizations depending on the screen used. Pharos is also installable as a Progressive Web App, which allows users to install Pharos as a mobile application on their device, increasing the ease of access for Pharos.
