Sounds great. It really says something about you that your product is able to stand out amongst all the billion analytics services out there.

It'd be like coming out with the best To-Do or Markdown editor app for iOS. :)

If I could make a suggestion, at some point you should create an analytics "gizmo" (or whatever you want to call it) gallery similar to http://bl.ocks.org/. You could even just parse the gist examples in Python and convert them to HTML/CSS/JS yourselves.

It would make it much easier to use and understand what can be done with your service. Not that I'm saying you aren't planning something like that. You already seem to encourage a pluggable approach, and what's easier than just going through a gallery and pressing an "install" button. Suddenly, you don't have to know any Python.

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:

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.
