Thank you for the link, I'm going to have a look at that. Two other tools do similar things too: - Datawi.re, by Annabel Church [1] - Stream Tools, by the NYT [2] [1]: http://datawi.re/ [2]: http://nytlabs.g

Or why you shouldn't do the doc last minute! Any suggestions here are very welcome. To have a look at some snippets, I would recommend going through the wizard, then cracking open one of the examples. The plumbing is a bit overly-compl

A very large part of the work is configured by the user, and the "alerts configuration page" is not yet functional. Here is a screenshot of the alerts I received this morning: http://imgur.com/vG0PqDf The alert wa

Hehe, yes, there's an opened issue about the install process on Mac - we couldn't perform tests over the weekend! Cron wouldn't work on Windows either, by the way.

Yeah, we thought about a demo. It was kind of hard to picture a way to demo it, given that you can't really see it in action. Any suggestions welcome. Re: Google Alerts - you're right... to a certain extent. Here, you can mash up

The Google homepage seems like a very valid point. But when you open a new tab, you are typing in the address bar - and the autocompletion is enabled. Ah, the irritative arrogance. I am quite happy about it because it led to a fair amount

When talking about webpages consulted on a regular basis (like facebook, for example), thanks to the 'omniboxes', there is no such thing as URLs anymore, don't you think? The browser does all the work in a few keyboard hits.
