Agreed, at this moment it’s an anecdotal labeling. Honestly if anyone can point us towards some other great tooling in this space, we’d love to compare and contrast more deeply. Right now we’re benchmarking against data.gov

We only want people to pay for Crystal if they feel they get outsized value out of it; we’d never ask you to pay just to make a few searches.

That being said, each query makes a few LLM calls to make sure we’re returning the most relevant datasets, which costs money. So at some point we would expect power users to contribute, which seems reasonable.

Ultimately our goal is to democratize access to this data. So the cost would never be more than a nominal amount

It’s U.S. data as per the title - but our goal is to integrate datasets from every country to make it comprehensive, no matter what you’re looking for

I also trimmed down the graph rendering so it doesn't take as much time (now that the play pop up isn't in the way)

Thank you for the feedback - you playing and taking the time to write all of this is super helpful and I really appreciate it.

The option to move quickly between puzzles totally makes sense - I added in buttons below the "Graphs title" to do so. Does it work well from your PoV?

I also made it so that the "play" button only pops up on your first graph of each day, afterwards it will not impede you as you binge :)

I fixed the August 16th labeling (regex strikes again) too, nice find.

The date thing is almost certainly due to varying timezones of players - they're all around the world at this point. I'll have to think more deeply about how to fix that, but it is 100% going to happen.

Thanks again for all the feedback and for playing!

Hm, what pops up when you click play (or anywhere outside of the pop up)?

I've been staring at it too long and can't tell if it looks good or bad

Tried my hand at an update on the calendar. Thoughts? The colors were proving tricky

I added in an option via a settings button (up top) to toggle grid lines...hoping that is a good start!

Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into fixing this. Are you referencing a graph that had a 10 month period as the x axis?
