We need one.  But that is pretty much all I have to say about it. Most of the ways you’ve to look at time series data end up something like this:

But before you can get here, you need to handle:

  • Looking at series
  • Inspecting raw series data
  • Tagging / searching series
  • Looking at the roll up values across different dates for different series
  • Delete data (full series or range of data)

Probably other stuff, but those are the things that I can think of.

Probably a good place to do a lot of graphs, too, just to let the users play with the data. But that is what I have in mind here so far.

Oh, and quite obviously, we want to be able to output everything to CSV so users can look at that in Excel, of course.
