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 datasets, compile them, tweak them, THEN and only then compare them to parameters you set. Alerts++, then.

How about a screenshot of the alerts configuration page, and the screenshot of an alert, in your mail client?
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 was set for London Euston area.

I will add an issue to the repo because, as you see, the styling is not very pretty - and the wording is far from eloquent!
