1. Thanks for pointing out elev.at - nice service. I hadn't seen that. Nice that it makes an API out of stuff that's already on the web.
2. Feedback link should not cover anything if your screen width is >~960px. Anyone else having a problem?
3. Wonder if '/' is confusing other people. I'll ask around...
4. Eek.. that's what happens when you grab a name and use it. I'm not married to it but I'll have to keep it at least for this competition.
5. Yep right now the upload limit is 100k so I can monitor and manage the load in the early days but that is going to change soon.
As this involves dealing with data sources, flows, and presentation, Actuatr may get some scrutiny from the reporting/reporting-services company Actuate (see http://www.actuate.com)..
Similar to elev.at (http://elev.at/), it's a way of converting legacy & proprietary data formats to a web-accessible version.
The 'Feedback' link on the left covers the main content for me in FF 3.5.5 on 32bit Vista.
silly little detail - the "/" between options top right made me think it was a breadcrumbs style path. gave me one of those "wtf? that can't be right. oh... right." moments (which is probably not a good thing).
does it really only allow you to upload 100k of data?
