Ask HN: Examples of interfaces combining data display and user-generated input?

3 pointsby andrewthornton11 months ago
I&#x27;m developing a web-based desktop app for internal users to view and analyze datapoints on various companies that is stored in our database. Users need to create short and long-form narratives based on predefined questions about the data (e.g., funding rounds, employees, patents, news, sales).<p>The interface should: 1 Display the stored structured data (in sections) 2 Allow short-form confirmations&#x2F;fact-checks for specific data points 3 Enable longer narratives referencing multiple data points 4 Use various input types (text areas, fields, tags, selects)<p>Does anyone know of some examples of any apps with similar functionality so I can check out their UI?

This is an interesting idea, if I&#x27;m understanding it right (i.e. you show one graph, user can interact with it, annotate certain data points or time periods, and then leave a freeform comment below it)?<p>I&#x27;ve never seen it in that particular format, though. Google Analytics had some light annotation tools (like you can mark certain dates with events) but it wasn&#x27;t very extensive.<p>It would be cool to see something like that, like an data-driven interactive dialogue service. I hope you build it!
