Very cool tool. Signed up to the list, and keen to see how the service can simplify the data viz process.

Thanks! As I've been creating other examples (yet to be released), I've discovered there are always going to be little quirks with the way you want certain data pre-filtered or grouped, aggregated and then grouped again. But in general my time creating my first board went from two weeks (http://stonefinch.com/Projects/Medicare - 19mb download, it'll take a while), down to 1-2 days, then down to 4 hours. Now with machete I can knock out a new board in less than an hour. I typically spend a lot more time just munging together data.
