Hi, I want to introduce my newest tool - Reshape.XL. Simple add-in for data wrangling in Excel. Tool was strongly inspired by dplyr/tidyr packages in R. Add-in does not require programming and is used through the visual interface. Complicated data processing can be done in few clicks.
Hi. This project was presented one year ago. But today it is a complete new tool for work with data. Using visual interface you can use R features without coding. Useful for beginners in areas such as data wrangling and data visualizations. Program transforms your actions in interface into R scripts. Now with freemium licensing.
I don't modify or close the R. Stagraph and R are independent apps. My app only sending R scripts via R console. Similarly like it is in other commercial apps.
I fix the problem with twitter name. From now your name will be correct.
If you want to change name in your previous posts, give me your twitter name and post titles and I fix it.
Best of week/month will require quality content, I agree. But it's a little bit of a chicken and egg problem if people don't remember the site. Having an RSS feed will get you mind share even if posts are sporadic.
My plan is to create a community driven site that collects interesting links in the field of data visualization (maps, tools, libraries, infographics, tutorials, ...).
I really like the idea and have a couple of build on possibilities (that you may have already considered).
1. I think this would be awesome in a Pinterest style with the graph as the splash page.
2. I don't disquis. I love the hacker news local comment model but do not understand the scope and scale of moderation work that comes with it (thanks dang!)
3. A special flag for projects that git or other hosted source to separate the 'just shiny' from the 'I can learn from the shiny'
Good luck in this space, I think there is a lot of room for a community like this. Also check out datatau for some other story leads that might better fit in your community.
