Updates

  • v1.0 (9th July)
  • v0.6 (7th July)
    • Loading of all pages of questions and answers if the user has more than 30 of each (this can be slow if you have 1000s). Suggestions welcome for how I can speed this up.
    • Prettier accounts table with loading status built in.
  • v0.5 (1st July) Fixed issues when looking up more than one user without reloading the page
  • v0.4 (29th June) Fixed issue picking top tags in IE and Chrome. Less 'other', more good stuff!
  • v0.3 (27th June)
    • Smarter lookup of users across sites.
    • Case insensitive user lookup (thanks to farseeker for the report)
  • v0.2 (26th June) - Update for API 0.9
  • v0.1 (24th June) - Initial release

    +1 Quite Snazzy! You may want to change the instructions - it's a little confusing. Also, when I look at the "Interest in tags by year", it only displays tags for StackApps. The other sites just display "other".

  • Thanks George. Which instructions do you find confusing? Only your top 30 tags over the years are reported individually. Everything else gets bundled into 'other'. I'll double this for the interest in tags by year.

    @George. Thanks. I've increased the number of tags in the treemap to 100. It looks much better now.

  • @Rich You should allow users to enter in User Ids instead of Names.

  • Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined /stack.js:119 - Do you still have to make some changes because of the 0.9 API?

  • @eWolf - Yep, it's a 0.9 issue. I'm looking into it now. Thanks for letting me know.

  • Great spot thanks. It turns out the username check is case sensitive. I'll fix that (assuming it is not the api that is the issue). In the meantine please use Farseeker.

Feature Request:

I think Stack Insight is marvelous! It is quite reminiscent of the extraordinary visualization work of Hans Rosling.

My request is to allow the 2-step process to be a single step, i.e. I would like to bookmark my data page. Your site currently requires manually entering the user name since it is just calling a JavaScript function on the same page. Could you provide a hook so that one may bookmark it (i.e. something like http: //www.heathtest.com/default?uname=xyz) ?

This didn't work for me. I assumed it was just because I'm not very active, but it doesn't work for Jon Skeet either. This happens for me in all the browsers I've tried it with (Firefox, Opera, Arora (a webkit browser) and IE8).

    Very odd. It works fine for me on IE8, Chrome and Firefox for you username. I can see JavaScript, date-explorer and discussion are you three tag with the most interest. Do you have flash installed?

  • I recently decided to uninstall Flash, so no. If it requires Flash, nevermind, but you might want to have it display a message if it isn't installed.
