- minusfive 15y agoBuzzData's UX designer + front end developer here. We're definitely working on all this ;) - stay tuned.
- peteforde 15y agoThanks for the feedback! We love ScraperWiki, too. Our initial target audience is not developers, which means that our MVP focuses on UX and making data not-scary for non-technical individuals. Could you expand on what you mean by lacking open source? ScraperWiki isn't open source either, right? Neither is GitHub. We're interested in knowing what you'd do with it if it was open source. Big ideas?
- maxogden 15y agoFor the record: ScraperWiki is about %95 open source: https://bitbucket.org/ScraperWiki/scraperwiki/src https://bitbucket.org/ScraperWiki/scraperwiki/src and Github has an incredible open source presence: https://github.com/github https://github.com/github. Meanwhile... https://github.com/buzzdata https://github.com/buzzdata I'm not trolling, I'm just a big fan of open data -- especially community driven approaches.
- peteforde 15y agoAwesome! We're building a pretty great community. I can't wait to see your contributions.
