Chrome permits access to ws://127.0.0.1 from https apps. I believe it's also making its way to Firefox, which is currently http only. Other browsers (ie/edge/safari) don't even follow this exception for http yet.
The goal is to create a real-time snapshot of the bitcon ecosystem & to build context around the data so it's simple to consume and understand. Price was a logical place to start, hope to add more types of data in the future.
Yeah, I built my own charting, the other solutions out there aren't polished enough for what I needed. This chart will be really easy to build functionality into while keeping high quality look and feel. I tried some different approaches but the best ended up being divs with % values and css animations. Other then that I'm using backbone, node, engine.io.
Thanks :) The plan is to create a realtime snapshot of the Bitcoin ecosystem by building context around the data so it's easy to consume and understand. Price was the logical place to start but the plan is not to be so price focused and to include more kinds of data.
