Nice work so far! It's neat that you've already been able to spot changes. A couple suggestions for the graphs. It would be nice if the graphs had an arrow indicating the "good" direction (i.e. which direction of movement is an improvement). Also, a graph of the derivative of the curve might be interesting for at a glance trending. -- Brooks
