I don't expect this to do terribly well, but as a side project that I spent a few nights on I'd love to know that it provided a little of bit of curiosity quenching joy for someone. This project was built using the rudiments of HTML5 with SVG, and an architecture purpose built for a very high level of caching (both on the client, and on the proxy that sits in front a the Go instance hosting the SS database dump). The end result is extremely high performance and, I think, eminently usable.

I like this a lot. My wife and I have been having fun coming up with names for the past 15 minutes.

It does need a bit of polishing but not to the degree some commenters here are suggesting. You have an explanation linked through "About" to a blog post. Some of that detail should probably be on the graph, e.g., explaining what clicking on the legend does.

Nice work!

For me, I think it rather raised my curiosity than quenched it. For a few nights, this is rather impressive.
