Having the most boring ever weather in New York city, a New Yorker has definitely nothing to do but sit down and write codes.. So it’s been two weeks since the last post, and there is a lot to tell.
Basically, the basic features of the website is there, mysql database is up there, commenting is there, dataset uploading and visualization uploading is there, there are even couple of visualizations working with various datasets that are uploaded. As of API still a lot missing, and that is the thing that’s gonna occupy my time. But currently, using API, one can import a dataset from the website, use the functions to fetch the data, and do his/her tricks with them.
More details coming soon, but here are some snapshots from the website.
Here is the birth of OpenVisuals API, version 0.0.1 beta (seriously beta), which can be downloaded from OpenVisuals API page. Lovely isn’t is? And in order to explain a little of ‘what is going on?’, here is a tutorial page. I would appreciate any comments on the structure, simplicity/complexity of the structure of the using of API. I will post more examples shortly.
OpenVisuals website is at openvisuals.org.
Here we are, trying to create a better visualization world, and excited to see where this adventure is going to take us. By saying ‘us’, it is only me actually. Hopefully, this word will lose its loneliness soon, and OpenVisuals will be a place for us to make better understanding of our data, in collaboration with dataset owners and visualization artists.
