Yay, thanks everyone :)
It's really nice to see that the effort put into this project is
recognizable (I found the jury comments to sound quite flattering).
There are still plenty of details where the application can be improved
and made more user friendly so I'm looking forward to do a bit more
polishing and see how it will compete in the next stage.
The biggest gripe I personally still have with the app is performance.
Especially with the items dataset it's just far from what can be called
"smooth". Unfortunately there is not very much I can do about it with
the current architecture and right now I don't think it would be worth
the resources required unless one could expect at least a 3 or 4-fold
increase in performance. And after all, it's still a javascript app - I
think 10 years ago one would probably be seen as a little crazy when
proposing to create a dynamic viz of 2 Million datapoints in javascript.
Thats also an interesting way to look at it. :)
Thanks for the support, looking forward to proudly wear my Wikidata
shirt ;-)
