Cool! I notice that you have both lil brother and google analytics enabled on bits.shutterstock.com. Do you have any kind of a read on how they stack up against each other?

When I first saw camlistore ( http://camlistore.org/ ) it jived with much of how I pondered the foundational bits of "the cloud I'd like to see". Private by default, distribut(ed|a…

That's surprising. Is it the example here ( http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/examples/extensions.ht... ) that is slow? How is it slow (when you click on controls to customize …

[full disclosure, I used to work with the fine folks at Shutterstock, who created Rickshaw] Rickshaw has been talked about here before, when it was released (original thread: http:…

"Ok, that example has a slider" It has two. There is one below the legend on the left hand side. That smooths your data by aggregating the plots. It also has the zoom slider under …

dygraphs is lovely, nice work there! One of the pieces that I particularly like is how you handle CSV data.

"A truly interactive chart would let you zoom in and out ... and so on." dchester's comment ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3340609 ) links to http://shutterstock.github.com/…

Thanks! Most (read "all") the credit there, as well as the credit for the other useful parts of the code, belongs to David Chester. But I'm louder on the internet and have been wor…

Thanks for giving it a whirl! When you say the controls don't work, are you talking about the controls in the extensions example ( http://shutterstock.github.com/rickshaw/examples/…
