Data Visualization Tools that work well with Firebase

[Kyle Visner]

Good Afternoon,

I was wondering if anyone has used any commonly available data visualization suites out there with Firebase and could make some recommendations?

Thanks!

Hey Kyle,

I started to take a crack at this during an internal experiment week with another Firebaser, but didn't get as far as I had hoped. It was called FireGrapher and the code is all up on GitHub with a "VERY BETA" (aka this doesn't really work) label. It was built on d3 and actually was pretty cool, but we never polished the API and made it releasable. Feel free to take whatever code you want from it though. Note that I most likely won't be responding to any issues or pull requests though.

Cheers,

Jacob

Not sure whether this is useful because 'data visualization' can mean a lot of things, but we first built customized charts using D3 (nothing as fancy as Jacob's code example) and then we stumbled on Keen.io.

(I have no affiliation by the way, but we found it super useful and it let us spit out dozens of analytics charts).

There was a good tutorial on Keen/Firebase integration which inspired us:

The nice thing about Keen is they integrate with D3, C3, and Google charts and they DO make it super simple to spin out a bunch of visualizations.

Hopefully this is somewhat useful, I guess it depends what you want to 'see' with visualizations but for our purposes it was a good/fast way to create some useful analytics.
