LastGraph3 Beta!

After much work, lastgraph3's beta is now out. Please be warned that it may not work, may explode, and may abduct your cat, dog or goldfish in the process of failing.

Apart from that, please feel free to give it a try at lastgraph3.aeracode.org. Report any and all problems back to me, either here, or at my email or something similar.

Oh, and it's also very slow at fetching until I re-negotiate fast fetching with last.fm, since I've moved IP.

Update: I've decided to make this one of those public, neverending betas, so LastGraph is now basically open for anyone and everyone to use. The last feature I added was LastGraph Premium, my new way of soliciting donations (this time, you can donate, and in return get a few extra features). I'm still not sure about it, but I've had some emails before from people who would have liked it, so we'll see how it turns out.

    This new UI is amazing - love it.

    I've now rendered 3 different graphs with no issues what so ever - the speeds are unreal compared the the previous version (that and the fact only a hand full of people are using the service right now). Love the new LastGraph Andrew - too sick.

    I've missed this, thanks for bringing it back, and thanks for the update!

    I've been waiting for this, and it exceeds expectations. Great job! I can't believe how much faster it renders! (although maybe that's just because I was first in line, I can't tell). So many new features! The site is only missing one thing - the option to donate to the project...

  6. Andrew Godwin

    Ah, the donations are also being revived, into a kind of cheap subscription model, where you get a few things (like sig images) for your money - they'll be back once I've implemented them...

    Hello

    This is GREAT - it's such an improvement over your original version. So much faster.

    I thought you might be interested in this:

    You might be able to pass images over so people can print them on MOO stuff? Packs of lastgraph postcards would be kinda sweet.

    More importantly, in the not too distant future, you'd get revenue share from that, too!

    This thing is slick like crazy. Great work and thanks so, so much :)

    Wow, this is supershiny ^_^ It's really great to use and shows you've put alot of thought into it from a users perspective (Like the automatic queuing / username based retrieval).

    I'ma want to help somehow because you've impressed me (and your blog is cool). Any suggestions on how I could do so?

    ciao!

    Oh no.... Russian letters are screwed :( Almost all data on graph become useless :(

    But great anyway ^_^

    If you want to sell premium-stuff:
    -cut the text
    -make me smile at beautiful images :)

  14. Andrew Godwin

    I'm not TRYING to sell lots of premium stuff, it's there really for those who would donate anyway, to provide a more concrete structure for doing so. If I were trying to make money, I wouldn't have made a massive, resource-intensive application with only a limited audience :)

    Any plans on adding different font choices? My girlfriend listens to alot of japanese artists and their names just disappear completely on the graph (characters missing in font I guess).

    Otherwise, awesome system!

  16. Mu

    My graph won't go before January of this year, even giving it an earlier start date. Beautiful otherwise. :)

  17. brian

    Really awesome work, but how do i update the stats. When I first visited, it fetched my profile's data, but that data hasn't updated since (even though it has at my last.fm profile).

    Am I just missing the link to re-fetch/update the data?

  18. Andrew Godwin

    No, the data should update itself every week or so (since this is how often last.fm calculate the data we use). If it's not... hmm.

    Congratulations on the new site. It's sleek, efficient, and a pleasure to use. Thank you for all your time and hard work. This is a world-class app!

    Idea of LastGraph is great but i've got a problem. I can't create graph or time line: when i'm trying to create timeline i see nothing there and when i'm trying to create poster i can see just strips of different width and different color. Can anyone tell me why it happens?
