potato

A d3 force graph visualization tool/toy. Useful for exploration of relatively small ( <1500 data points), flat datasets.

Live Demo: http://www.chasjhin.com/potato

Inspired by:

• http://vallandingham.me/bubble_charts_in_d3.html
• http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/02/13/us/politics/2013-budget-proposal-graphic.html?_r=0
• http://www.delimited.io/blog/2013/12/19/force-bubble-charts-in-d3

The file uploader uses the HTML5 file API. As a result, uploaded files stay in your browser and do not travel the tubes. In other words, any uploaded data is relatively secure.

Wishlist:

• [ ] Limit number of filters/categories for a given column/category
• [ ] Catch massive datasets to prevent browser from crashing
• [ ] Size scale when size filter is set (aka size legend?)
• [ ] Allow users to change the colors.... perhaps by interacting with the color legend?
• [ ] More intelligent placement of split groups to better make use of available screen space
• [ ] Hints/tutorial for csv upload as well as for first time dataset exploration. (ie. billionaire: Try splitting by source and coloring by gender)
• [ ] Hint about zooming?...
• [ ] Allow users to either keep or remove selection?
