Really cool. Pretty easy to use overall. I plan to play around with it a lot. My feedback is geared towards fantasy football, but here are my thoughts and suggestions:
1. Some stats categories aren't clear. Which one do I select to graph rushing yards allowed per game for a specific team?
2. How do I create a motion chart? I couldn't see how to do that and I didn't find any to copy from.
3. I'll never want to put an image in the background of a graph.
4. Add a category for fantasy points. Just use a simple default scoring system.
5. Can I resize the image or flash graph? I don't like the thumbnail because you can't tell what it is, and I want to be able to embed a graph that's about half the size of the current embedable graphs, like 400 pixels wide.
6. Any thoughts on a simple API? I see that the embedded graphs don't have any parameters. They have to be saved graphs. It would be cool to be able to embed a graph on different player pages by just changing parameters to the graph. For example, I'd like to be able to embed a graph into this page that shows stats for Pierre Thomas last year. http://www.fantasyfootballchatter.com/pierre-thomas http://www.fantasyfootballchatter.com/pierre-thomas. Bonus points if it doesn't require knowing player IDs and is just something like http://statplot.com/graph/nfl/pierre-thomas?cat=rushing-yards http://statplot.com/graph/nfl/pierre-thomas?cat=rushing-yard.... There could be a lot of sites out there that would embed charts if it was easier and didn't require creating an account and saving each one individually.
- RobbieStats 17y agoGreat feedback... 1. Pretty common feedback. I need a glossary, but there are so many stats (over a thousand and growing). For "rushing yards allowed per game", you'd want to select Game Offense -> Rushing Yards and Game Opp-Offense -> Rushing Yards. I created an example chart here: http://statplot.com/e/2821 http://statplot.com/e/2821 2. It is under the "Chart Options" section on the left hand side beside the graph. 3. Ok 4. Can you tell me more about what this would include? http://statsheet.com/contact http://statsheet.com/contact 5. Yes, this is also under the Chart Options section. You can set whatever height and width that you want. 6. StatPlot is the free version of a subscription site I'm working on now. I'm creating a service that will allow you to do just what you ask for, but there will be a fee (hopefully reasonable). If you are interested in learning more, let me know. I'm looking for beta testers now. There will be an API.
- imp 17y agoGreat, thanks for the response. It seems that I missed the entire Chart Options section. I guess my main UI feedback then would be to put those options directly beneath the graph and move the background image stuff somewhere else. Good to know there's more planned. I'll follow up with you on the fantasy points stuff.
