Change Details

The next major step for Facts is better charting support. I'm currently planning to follow the Query/SearchEngine model, where charts are addressed by hash (so you can quickly edit/share them) and can optionally be named/saved. I'm not yet entirely clear on how chart "types" will work. Essentially all current charts are based on time-series facts where it makes sense for the X-axis to be "time" and the Y-axis to be "value" (often "count"). At least for now, perhaps this is left to the API, but it would be good to develop a clearer picture of this. Charts should also support a widget and maybe some kind of `{chart XYZ}` quick reference markup.

That is, here, if we draw only points in the domain, we get this: {F6382347} We'd like something more like this, but without the glitchy rendering: {F6382349}
