Hi all, I'm the main developer behind this and I'll be lurking around for a couple hours in case folks have any questions.

Interesting! Unfortunately, your application seems limited to the mac, so I won't be able to use it.

Also, I couldn't watch your video entirely, it got stuck on the middle. I'm not sure if the problem is on my browser's part of if the video is corrupt, but maybe you could mirror it to youtube for people like me?

Good idea--I'm uploading the video to Vimeo now and I'll link to it or use it for the embedded video.

This could be especially useful for any project where you don't really know much about your data set and you're just getting the lay of the land. Makes me want to throw some data from http://www.kaggle.com/ in there.

Yes, the goal is for Divvy to be a step in your workflow where you get a feel for your data. We make it really easy to export the clusterings, embeddings and visualizations you come up with to csv and png for additional analysis with other tools.

hmm, I use a window management app called Divvy. Would you mind renaming this to ember.js?

For me, to get it to run, I had to create a "configuration" in Models called "DivvyIsomap".

But I got it running and it looks cool. Thanks!

Looks like there was an Xcode 3/4 confusion that crept in. I imagine you were compiling in Xcode 3--I've fixed the issue now and pushed the change to the repository, though you may need to do a clean after pulling. If you're still having issues you can try removing the files in Divvy's application support directory. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll patch that issue on the repository.

I like hearing the fan kick in on your laptop after you start a couple of parallel reductions :)

jlewis_stOP14y ago

Yeah, you really feel like you're there, haha.

Yes, I've seen this app. Hopefully machine learning and window management are different enough that the app's author doesn't mind. Any alternate name suggestions are appreciated :)
