Inspiration
Tableau is an expensive GUI for making interactive graphics. Despite it's price, it has many flaws. A free and better version should exist in 2015. D3 is a javascript library for creating svg and canvas visualizations. It has a steep learning curve and is inaccessible to many people who would like to create non-standard visualizations.
What it does
One data source (json via get request), one analysis (comparative word count)
How I built it

Challenges I ran into

Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was able to get a working demo put together.
What I learned
Polymer, time management, the importance of dependency management.
