Re: [CODE4LIB] Announcing Search Workbench

Pretty cool! It wouldn't be hard to wire that js up to a server-side
passthrough (I've done a lot of that) so you can hit whatever APIs you
want. I like the clean, simple lines of the interface.

Best regards,

Search Workbench ( https://searchworkbench.info ) is a stab at using 
interactive visualizations to assist in the process of constructing and 
refining a search against a very large citation database.

I hope it's useful for folks who do PubMed searching and think it might also 
serve as a proof-of-concept for using visualizations in other search 
applications...

Woah, it's all JS front-end with no back-end? Neat.  That would limit
ability to support other search APIs to those that allow CORS JS access,
but that's not unreasonable.

If you don't mind, I'd recommend slapping a license on it anyway, in case
someone else wants to use it or build upon it. They might not, but doesn't
hurt -- unless you want to keep the code to yourself. The MIT license is
basically a "you can do whatever you want with this" license that I like.

And linking to the github repo in the "About" page on the live site.

It's also always reasonable to slap a README on that says "This is a
passion/hobby/side project, i will probably provide absolutely no
maintenance or support or docs whatsoever, but you are welcome to use the
code if you like."

Thanks!

It exists in the land of no-discernable license, being an independent passion 
project. The code however can be found at 
https://github.com/esperr/search-workbench. 

It's an elaboration of a couple of other projects I presented at Code4LibSE a 
few months ago -- basically a framework that ties together Google charts, 
venn.js (https://github.com/benfred/venn.js/) and the awesome NCBI API 
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/home/develop/api/).

This is pretty neat!  Is the code open source, and what language is it written 
in?  I'm intrigued by expanding to other search APIs with suitable 
functionality.
