Looks good! My project has a lot of overlap, except that it is very
intentionally not based on Web technology, but on a malleable platform
(http://gtoolkit.com/) in which you can also do data analysis and other
computation. It's more like Emacs than like a Web app.

Nice! That kind of visualization is not my focus for now, but the people
who build the Glamorous Toolkit platform are very much into that and
there's a lot of support code for visually exploring software systems:
