Thanks for your input.

While working on signal processing and some graph data structures, I was looking for a simple code snippet to add in my code and be able to quickly visualise the data in my web browser. I was tempted to implement it myself a bunch of times, but I never got the time to actually do it.

What I ended up doing is dumping my data points into a CSV files and use excel, which was really bad if I had more than 50k data points (I am on running Mac OS X). Periscope is amazing btw.

Thanks for the kind words!

For ping-and-visualize, I'd recommend a tool that'll give you raw access to the underlying data. Some choices are https://amplitude.com/ and https://segment.com/. Happy to chat about pros and cons if you're curious -- harry@periscope.io.

For a simple viz of graph data, I'd would use linkurious.js[0] (it's a very active fork of sigma.js)

Disclaimer: I work on it ;)
