I'm currently using Fluxxor[1] which reifies the Flux architecture with Stores and a central dispatcher. I did some research into Backbone.Model bindings but eventually decided to go "full Flux". I've yet to regret my decision even though my app has grown quite complex.

The best part is, thanks to React & Flux I'm building a large scale web app without jQuery for the first time in my life :)

Two.js[1] has a WebGL renderer and abstractions for basic vector graphics and polygons. I haven't had the chance to use it in a project yet but it seems promising. Two.js could even be used as a basis for a WebGL charting library (thus providing another layer of abstraction).

Coincidentally, we just launched an improved version of our GitHub analytics app with hourly page view charts. We also show rankings by country and language for all repos (not just the top 25 ones).

Gmail's spam filter definitely seems to be erring on the aggressive side nowadays. I honestly can't remember when any real spam last reached my inbox. On the other hand, I did find many other false positives while going through the spam folder, mainly from newsletters and social notifications I really have subscribed to.

I guess the least we can do is help Google tune their filters and periodically mark all false positives as "not spam".

I've been a happy Sidebar subscriber from day one and I always browse through the weekly links. Thanks Sacha!

A quick anecdote: While reading this article I noticed that I don't remember getting my referral link from Sidebar. I searched my Gmail for "in:spam sidebar" and there it was - the only Sidebar email which Gmail has ever flagged as spam.

I know MailChimp has tools for testing the spamminess of a campaign and this message probably passed all of them since there's nothing particularly spammy about it. Maybe it was random or maybe the referral link was just enough to trigger the spam filter in (my) Gmail.

If the open rate for the MailChimp campaign wasn't particularly low spam filtering wasn't probably a significant factor in the overall conversion rate.

I assume the text on the Kickstarter page is written by her mother - she used the first-person viewpoint to enhance the narrative. You can read the same paragraph with a 3rd person viewpoint and it makes more sense ("since she's 9 she's starting with RPG maker...").

Regarding your second point: It would be a great move by the parents to donate most of the pledges to a charity for kids'/women's/STEM education. I don't know what Kickstarter's stance on this would be though.

I have spent many hour-long train commutes entranced by Super Hexagon. The game is really really hard, but the fast-paced sessions and minimalistic controls are very well suited for the mobile form factor.

I've been using followshows for some months now and I'm very satisfied overall. It's quite useful for keeping track of shows regardless of where I watch them.

There have been some issues with double items in the queue for some shows. For example, seasons 11 and 13 have the same episodes here:

Minor issues aside, thanks for the nice app!

Hi Jonas! You might be interested in our Mixpanel integration: At Bitdeli, you can create all the segments and metrics you need by running custom analytics scripts for all your raw historical data from Mixpanel - all without changes to your current setup.

http://bitdeli.com

We like to think our approach as best of both worlds: Get the beautiful interface and intuitive functionality Mixpanel provides with the ability to answer the occasional hard questions about your data.

Feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] and we can help you get started!

Great news! I've been using Recon.io for a couple of months now and found the alerting functionality really useful. It's basically Google Alerts for Twitter: just enter your product/company name and have one less feed to worry about.

Their database of journalists is also quite valuable already. I've entered "analytics" as the industry keyword and I get a couple of alerts every week for similar product launches covered by well known journalists.

In the future I'd love to see more history and aggregates on the dashboard (now only shows tweets from the last 7 days).

Hi Paul, I'm a big fan of Geckoboard - in some circles, your name is almost analogous for a dashboard :)

Getting to over 2500 signups in four months is definitely a great achievement, but I think it would be more interesting to hear about getting to 100 daily active users for example. After all, signups are not worth much if the users don't keep using the service (I'm sure this was not a problem in your case though).

I know there are a lot of generic blog posts and SaaS services for maximizing customer engagement, but reading real stories from founders is always uniquely inspiring.

Bitdeli co-founder here. We have missed GitHub's traffic graphs ever since they were removed and we know we're not alone[1]. That's why we decided to offer a free Bitdeli account to anyone who wants to find out who is viewing their repos.

The free account also works as a "sandbox tier" since you can try out all our features for custom analytics with familiar data from your repos.

Thanks to everyone who suggested this earlier[2]!

We'll definitely set up a public gallery of all the analytics widgets at some point. Since all the visualizations are produced by our Python scripts, you can check our documentation for all the available widget types:

https://bitdeli.com/docs/python-widgets.html

You can also see a preview of all our analytics templates on our GitHub account:

https://github.com/bitdeli

When you sign up, you can use any of these analytics scripts with your data with just a couple of clicks - no coding needed to get started.

Yep, we use D3 for most of our graph widgets (maps, time series, bar charts). The rest are plain html/css so everything is nice and scalable.
