javascript - How "best" to allow a web-page visitor to construct mathematical or statistical tools? -
i have free web site streams real-time stock-options data. want let users make , save own javascript-callable tools interpret options data. users can invoke these custom tools them make own sell/buy decisions options.
but totally stopped, stymied, dead-ended, , buffaloed how accomplish this. if there few choices, guess stumble around blindfolded (as now) , hit on 1 kind-of worked.
but choices seem endless:
- let user write javascript tools i'd interpret;
- mathematica , toolsets;
- many statistics packages;
- google spreadsheet api.
and overwhelmingly many more.
if has struggled through process of giving user facility making statistics , probability tools, how did end up? , way again?
plus, feature-creeposis , perfectionitis want me integrate charts, graphs, heat maps, , knows else more; or @ least allow later integration of graphics.
graphics nice , sexy: i'd drop , graphics. have resist , something onto page real now.1
q: can/should allow , encourage easy, intuitive, secure, , powerful tool construction?
edit: don't mean want invent whole new system de novo. (uh-huh, yeah, that's right; 'only' :-) want interface already-existing javascript-callable package.
thanks much!
1 know little bit of how employers might have felt me @ 1 time: "aw, c'mahhhhhhhhhn, feature sexy leave out."
if need out door quickly, first best stop-gap solution give people ability export data tool know how use (e.g., excel) purpose. worry own version of wheel once you've provided basic short-term solution.
of course, that's not marginalize topic of building functional, browser-based statistical analysis package, seems interesting. honest might come , post "hey guys, need develop new operating system iphone. ideas?" ;)
