Matlab, Maple, etc are very good at what they do, but they have two problems that my platform solves.<p>1. Your manager and&#x2F;or customer can&#x27;t see your work unless they have a license and can understand the language. Mine only needs a web browser.<p>2. If the analysis changes, the documentation must be updated as well. Mine does everything on the same web page.<p>As for the questions, those are all ones that I have asked myself about several times and here is where I am now.<p>(1) It is not open source and you really are kinda locked into using the system once you get going. I really couldn&#x27;t find a way around this as the real appeal for most engineers is the absence of the need to code stuff. I have documentation that describes how I solve most algorithms and some demos.<p>(2) Scraping web pages is high on my to do list. You can paste most forms of data already, but you can&#x27;t yet import files directly. Seeing that this is high on someone else&#x27;s list I may put most of my effort there.<p>(3) Right now, everything is done locally in javascript but there is no way to save changes without server access. Part of my business plan is to use a server side code to solve large data sets and possibly charge for that. I have been surprised at how well the browser has handled most problems though.<p>(4) The main problem that this will solve for most people is this ... You get data from a test run somewhere. You put that data on a server, run a Matlab or Python code on it and then create a word document to pass on that info. With my system, you upload the info, analyze it, and display the results all on the same web page. It isn&#x27;t just about analyzing the data, it&#x27;s about doing everything on the same platform.<p>(5) The plotting functions are pretty easy to use and you can get something up in a few seconds. I also have 3D plotting.
