This is interesting. Can you go a little into the tech stack you used? I'm always interested in things like this. Did you roll your own charting solution? I see your just using standard div elements no svg or canvas...
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.
Beautiful. What's the best way to use this?
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.
