Ask HN: What is a good data viz / dashboard platform?
I'm looking to build a "dash board" site that will post key metrics for OpenStreetMap -- inspired by Wikipedia reports. http://stats.wikipedia.org/
In theory, I could have a cron job that pulls in the data regularly, processes it, updates data files that feed into javascript libraries that then do the visualization.
Thing is, I would rather do as little of this tool chain as possible. Any platforms out there that will help me visualize my data so that I can embed the charts on my website to make a nice dashboard? I'm happy to do some bare minimum pre-processing and feed the API regularly, but would rather not have to get my hands dirty with the front end javascript, since that is not my forte.
