First Post!

Hey look, we have a blog!

It’s probably telling that I feel committed enough to this project to start documenting it. While it’s probably a little too early to highlight some of the interesting things that our data can show you, I can nevertheless document the journey so far.

The official version of our product right now is 0.1.67 – which speaks to a rather long version history – however most of that code history is discovery and exploration of the problem space. As you can see by visiting dataplay.io, there are still remnants of old ideas in the UI. The Storm Topology editor, for instance, is a near and dear pet project of mine, however without the data to back it it’s little more than a neat tool. That’s not to say we won’t continue iterating on it, but over the next few versions you can expect those features to be mothballed and deactivated.

Stay tuned though, it’s not forever. We’ve got a long way to go, and a lot of things to do. Let’s see what this journey brings us, alright?
