Great! Bookmarking this. Two points of suggestion though.

1. The antispam filter is a bit confusing. Took me a while to understand that it expects me to input tag number three in the field.

2. After submitting a link, I received no feedback and at this point, I'm not sure whether it's pending approval or if I did something wrong.

Edit: Ok, so now the submitted link showed up. But not with my Twitter profile. Not that I care, but that's another confusing thing in my view.


Thank you for your suggestion.

1. I plan to improve a number of elements (e.g RSS for tags, newsletter, antispam ...) Current state is something like MVP...

2. Website has no approval mechanism. Your post is visible in five minutes because of website caching.

3. twitter profile name will be fixed


I fix the problem with twitter name. From now your name will be correct. If you want to change name in your previous posts, give me your twitter name and post titles and I fix it.


An RSS feed or even a daily digest email would be really helpful.


Yes, this I have in plan (e.g. best of week/month). But for this I need enough quality content and users.


Thanks for the site!

Best of week/month will require quality content, I agree. But it's a little bit of a chicken and egg problem if people don't remember the site. Having an RSS feed will get you mind share even if posts are sporadic.


Without a description of what this is, I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be seeing. It's links to random visualization on the web? Is it the empty site hosting the links? I'm sorry, but I don't get it.


My plan is to create a community driven site that collects interesting links in the field of data visualization (maps, tools, libraries, infographics, tutorials, ...).


I really like the idea and have a couple of build on possibilities (that you may have already considered). 1. I think this would be awesome in a Pinterest style with the graph as the splash page. 2. I don't disquis. I love the hacker news local comment model but do not understand the scope and scale of moderation work that comes with it (thanks dang!) 3. A special flag for projects that git or other hosted source to separate the 'just shiny' from the 'I can learn from the shiny'

Good luck in this space, I think there is a lot of room for a community like this. Also check out datatau for some other story leads that might better fit in your community.


Is this a 100% community driven site, or are there some dedicated editors?


Currently it is list of interesting links that I found (except 4 links). But for the future, I hope it will be community driven.


Hey!

Nice project. It would be nice if you could add the submission dates. As a user I would like to know how current a submission is


Good point. Now are dates available if you click on vote/comment link.


Thank you for all your comments and suggestions. I updated the website.

1) you see date added 2) you can subscribe to future planned "best of the month" newsletter 3) twitter names are fixed 4) rss channels was added


Great site...looking forward to it..
