Well done guys. For good insights on how you could approach some UX challenges in a tool like Plotly, I highly recommend watching Bret Victor's "Drawing Dynamic Visualizations".<p>For the non-Plotly folks reading this, Bret's presentation is also very effective at blowing your mind in general.<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/66085662" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/66085662</a>
And check out the python script that generated the graph (<a href="https://plot.ly/~bchartoff/157" rel="nofollow">https://plot.ly/~bchartoff/157</a>) to pick and choose favorite layout elements, for example.
I saw a demo in person the other day and they showed it as a graph embedded in a Washington Post article. I was most impressed by the ability to click through on the graph and browse or query the data set directly.
What changed since your last post (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5671831" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5671831</a>) ?
