[Project proposal] Improve user interface of the Rust compiler benchmark suite

[Kobzol]

Project name: Improve user interface of the Rust benchmark suite
Project details: The Rust compiler benchmark suite is used to test the performance of the Rust compiler. It consists of a program that collects the benchmark data, a database interface and a website. There are various small-ish improvements that could be made to improve its user interface, either on the website (Vue + Typescript) or in the CLI (currently a simple TUI application).

Examples of issues that could be attempted:

• Add runtime benchmark historical charts to the graphs page rust-lang/rustc-perf#1817
• Add historical charts for compiler artifact sizes rust-lang/rustc-perf#1932

One slightly larger task would be to try to port the simple TUI interface to ratatui.

Short bio: I'm a member of a few Rust teams and working groups (t-infra, t-bootstrap, wg-compiler-perf etc.) and I'm also the primary maintainer of rustc-perf.
Looking for: Someone who has either at least basic Rust knowledge, ideally with some experience with terminal user interfaces (to work on the TUI) or someone with web development experience (Typescript, Vue, etc.) to improve the website.

I'd be interested in this :) (as the maintainer of ratatui)

At hich hour are you planning to be at the impl room? 👀

Sorry, I wasn't sure how the scheduling should work. I'll go there now and also try to be there after lunch.
