Oh James, that Kickstarter embed is just too sweet!

James, you are my hero! Now I don't have to refresh the Kickstarter page every few minutes (which, I hate to admit I've been doing).

Awesome-ness!

Hey Guys! Get back to work! You need to be making some more money for Tex.

I figured I should replace the countdown with the official count-up!

Work? Today is like Christmas morning. We shouldn't have to work today.

(Unfortunately, I am informed that my office does not agree with me on this.)

Woo $100k! Only 12.5k to 25%!

I took the day off!!!! It is a little like Christmas!

I may be overstepping here, but is it possible to get a Kicktraq embed too?

I essentially have, because I've hardly gotten a damn thing done today!
I even skipped lunch. I've got the Fedora Fever.

It doesn't look like Kicktraq provides a widget to embed in other sites. I was only able to add the Kickstarter one so quickly because they're doing all the heavy lifting on their end.

Know what you mean!

Kicktraq is really fun to look at. But then it does also require a big disclaimer as to how the "estimates" aren't technically accurate.

Trends are horribly misunderstood. That's why I wrote the article. We're actually removing trends in the primary charts in the next big update because too many people think they are estimations, projections, or forecasts.

If you look at the projection cone chart by clicking on the Pi icon at the bottom, this exposes some of our experimental charts. Those are much more in-line with actual projections than the trends are.

Hrm, I never really thought about that. We allow you to freely link the main chart images, but I never considered providing code to do so. That's the developer in me assuming

Here you go:








<edit> Hrm, the forum doesn't scale the images and cuts them off :/. Not sure how best for someone to help with that.



Hope that answers some questions! Thanks for using us!

Really cool of you to reply, kicktraq!

Is there any way at all you can make it refresh by demand, though? Those of us with Compulsive Refresh Syndrome (otherwise known as inflammation of the F5 joint) can't wait to see live updates!
