#2Good intentions, but the visualizations don't work for me (I get Invalid Date errors) and I find the analysis to be shallow. If the amount of data which they say was collected, was actually collected, I think that this dataset deserves a much deeper dive.

Where is the data set or the visualizations? I didn't see links or embedded visualizations for anything mentioned in the blog.

I missed it as well then realised NoScript was blocking it.

Thank you! It is blocked by uBlock Origin as well. So if you are seeing the article but without any visualizations check your ad blocker. Definitely not a good sign for a startup.
Edit: Also, they claim insights about what influences productivity. However the visualizations shown (after you disable adblocking) do not reflect the claimed insights.
Edit2: Downvote this all you want. I assume you have a personal stake, and I doubt you will make it disappear -- they are valid criticisms. Maybe responding would be more constructive.
Edit3: Hey Colby, thanks for responding (can't respond directly). Turning uBlock off and reloading may have been coincident with visualization showing back up. Maybe overtaxed servers with the front page HN spot? (Congrats btw).

Also I see some values for "productivity". What's the metric?

The metric is pulled from RescueTime. It's the percentage of time spent on applications that are classified as "Productive".

I have nothing to do with this startup but from your comments I don't think you read the article very carefully. Also it's unfair to blame them for what your browser plugins did.
