I love dc.js. In fact, I just released a data viz tool (www.machete.io) yesterday that lets lay people create charts/dashboards with dc.js. If you're a dev, you'll obviously have a lot more flexibility by crafting dcjs exactly to your liking, but machete would can help you rapidly prototype. Example: All 3,025 Penalties in the NFL 2013 Season - http://www.machete.io/board/view/NFL_2013_Penalties/3731630c-e064-4d4c-a152-82d92997713f http://www.machete.io/board/view/NFL_2013_Penalties/3731630c... The plan is to use the github model - free public boards, private boards will be a small monthly fee.

Very cool tool. Signed up to the list, and keen to see how the service can simplify the data viz process.

  Thanks! As I've been creating other examples (yet to be released), I've discovered there are always going to be little quirks with the way you want certain data pre-filtered or grouped, aggregated and then grouped again. But in general my time creating my first board went from two weeks (http://stonefinch.com/Projects/Medicare http://stonefinch.com/Projects/Medicare - 19mb download, it'll take a while), down to 1-2 days, then down to 4 hours. Now with machete I can knock out a new board in less than an hour. I typically spend a lot more time just munging together data.
