Glad you're excited about it. We don't have a date yet but we're working hard to get it out as soon as we feel it's ready. And London to start with, though we already have plans for other cities (so long as the data exists). Any suggestions for cities?
San Fran would be great although any city would be interesting

#13I am a bit worried about the attention given to "shiny" (Leap Motion, Twitter, vehicles etc.) features rather than actually useful statistical stuff but I am hoping they are just working on this while they are in discussions with said agencies.

#14awesome, I was getting a bit worried about the lack of updates on their blog. Thrilled that they are actually talking to various agencies.

Re: "Shiny". We're working on a huge number of different features and we didn't want to overload the latest update with things we'd already covered in the first update – things like statistical data visualisation, etc. We're still working on those areas though and they are still a priority, they just don't need as much work as the other features right now.

#17Awesome - I like the 'depth' feature of the tube network. I assume this data is also provided by TFL? If so, it is quite good of them to provide so much data to the public domain.

Noticed you updated the comment… Re: "Shiny".

My ninja skillz need training.

#20Very cool. What % of the platform (if any) would you say is tailored to London? (ie how easy is it to implement other cities - assuming the mapping/traffic data is present)
Eventually, we plan to move to an abstracted approach using consistent data formats that means we can spin up a new city without any modifications to the platform.
