- Originally a one-day hackathon project.
- Since then it has grown to become something I've shwon off at YYC DataCon
- The concept is in two parts:
- Allow interoperable representations of data: visual diagrams, HTML, plain-text, tables, etc. Some of these formats ought to be accessible to the blind using semantic HTML.
- Allow changes to the data: highlights, edits, add/removes to be interoperably applied, regardless of the representation. Changes should be announced to screen-reader users in accessible formats.
- It combines semantics and diagrams.
- Create a common data format to convert to:
- SVG: Yes
- SVG (tactile diagram): Not yet
- HTML: Not yet
<table>
: Yes
- Limitations
- Data needs to be within the same order of magnintute (i.e., no support for logarithmic y axis)
- No colour-blind palette
- Uses JS
- Lots of fixed values that aren't constified
- Font size is small
- Uses manual float/integer conversions in Rust
- This should be fixed by using a arbitrary precision library that has support with
askama
.

To create the HTML file, and launch the websocket server, simply use the Makefile
via the make
command.
Then, open the HTML file in a local browser.
