On: Ask HN: Is a user base growth from 190k to 3.3M in 4 years impressive?

Yes, but depends on what kind of system. Our company has written telecommunication systems to handle over 50M users and yes we do brag :)

On: Show HN: ZapChart (Create a Chart and Share It with Anyone)

[rt897]

I can see how I might use this. Have you any use case why/how real people would use this?

[nandreev → rt897]

Yes, in many ways it may seem like a solution looking for a problem.

There are a few potential use cases:

* Teachers can use this to teach primary school kids the basics of bar charts (no software required, and they can get results fast)

* People can make funny/insightful charts very quickly for use on social media sites (i.e. Reddit). I just made this one, for example: http://www.zapchart.com/embed#/YqICTdrOEeSekvOC0hENoA

* Students can quickly make charts for use in their homework/reports

* Bloggers with no access to Desktop charting software (i.e. Excel) can quickly make charts and embed them.

sounds like a cool idea.

Thank you! We've been working on sharing and discovery of science knowledge for 3 years. But our developers aren't molecular biologists and working on abstract science problems is hard. So Wayzaway is an extension of "share & discover" idea to everyday activity - our 10% side project.
