csvPeek is a tool for automatically visualizing data, originally created by the Product Science team at [Pastry Labs]. Provide the link to a data file and Charted returns a beautiful, interactive, and shareable chart of the data.

csvPeek is deliberately sparse in formatting and data transformation options, and instead gives you a few powerful core features:

• Rendering well on all screen sizes, including monitors
• Re-fetching the data and updating the chart every 30 minutes
• Moving data series into separate charts
• Adjusting the chart type, labels/titles, and background

csvPeek currently supports the following file types:

• .csv files
• .tsv files
• Google Spreadsheets (set to shareable)
• Dropbox share links to supported files

csvPeek treats the first column of the data file as the labels for the x-axis. All subsequent columns are added as y-series. csvPeek does not parse the first column (x-axis), but instead always equally spaces the data points along the x-axis.

To try csvPeek out, simply download the repo and run npm install to install dependencies. After that you will be able to run npm start. This will start a server at localhost:3000.

If you install Watchman, you can run bin/watch to automatically recompile whenever you change JavaScript or LESS files.

You can also run csvPeek via docker by running docker build -t csvPeek . in the repo to build the container. You will then be able to run the container using docker run -p 3000:3000 csvPeek. Server will be accessible at localhost:3000
