Nice work. I see a lot of potential. Offtopic question, apologies: Where and how one can create the start page animation ( the one in 3D , with the moving impulses and floating charts ) ?

It was a handwritten svg animation with d3 later enhanced using adobe illustrator.

Thank you. Very well done!

Shameless plug for a data + markup based approach, hiding some of d3.js complexity: https://github.com/PolymerEl/multi-verse . Codebase is being migrated to Polymer 2.0, and better documentation.

Looks great! Can we think of a way to integrate muze using your approach? :)

Core idea behind this approach is to expose API properties as web-component attributes so that you can compose your charts and visualization at markup level (and share/react to properties between components).

I do not see any reason why this could not work with your API. If interested, some concrete/simpler examples available from https://github.com/PolymerEl/multi-chart (also being ported / simplified; ETA next week)

Cool. You might consider describing Muze as a project rather than a product. E.g., On the homepage: Our first product, Muze... -> Our first project, Muze....

Thanks for this nugget. Will consider and then change! Curious question: why would you not want to call an open source library as product?

I associate "product" with something that is sold, so when I saw Muze described as a "product," but I didn't see a price, I was somewhat wary that the price was hidden or forthcoming.

"Project" is also a fairly common term to refer to open source tools and the community around them. See the nav bars for linuxfoundation.org or numfocus.org, for instance.

That SVG is very well done!

^^^ I had the same thought process. I spent a few minutes clicking around the site to figure out the catch to the open-source library that is the only product of a company with a $$$$ domain.

That's just the first product - open-core.

We will be making more products in future, some OS, some paid. So yes, monetization is on the cards :) - but our first goal is to create real good value!
