Ask HN: Please review my most recent side project (cost behavior analysis)
I made this web app because I found doing cost behavior analysis for my managerial accounting homework very tedious and relatively time-consuming.
Cost behavior analysis is the process of dividing a mixed cost into its variable and fixed components (math: Finding the slope and y-intercept of a line or "m" and "b" in the equation y = mx + b)
This app is written in Python on the Tornado framework and makes use of numpy, matplotlib, and MongoDB.
What can I do to make this app easier to use and more useful?

Personal grip - why do people not put these links in themselves?
- hoop 16y agoA better question: Why doesn't HN automatically convert the URLs to links in the first place?
