Show HN: Sprites – create online infographics with ease
(there was a "Show HN" post about Sprites a while ago but I though it would be good to re-iterate since we've added some great features recently and also because my previous post went a bit unnoticed).
Sprites (https://spritesapp.com) is a simple to use web app which allows you to create animated, visual, data-driven presentations (infographics). All presentations are pure HTML5 content and are fully responsive (from mobile to projector) and embeddable (just like GitHub gists, for example). Some other key features include:
- Variety of building blocks (including good charting options).
- Number of options for power users (custom themes using plain CSS, custom elements using JavaScript).
- Data import from Excel, Google Spreadsheets or ordinary URLs.
- Analytics (either built-in or using Google Analytics).
- Public vs private (password-protected) content.
- Ability to download your presentation as an image.
- Free vs. Pro ($6/mo) subscription plans.
We're actively improving the product and adding features (you can read about some of the most significant ones at our blog: http://blog.spritesapp.com). We launched (semi-officially) some time in January and we're currently a team of two: myself (I made the first version) and my friend (joined me in March to help on the engineering front).
Here's a couple of examples of what you can make with Sprites:

Pavel. When i clicked the demo button, everything locked up for about 10 seconds with no indication that anything was happening.I was worried that this might be a junker. Wrong! What a neat tool, you should be very proud. clickable: https://www.spritesapp.com Thanks! I'm not sure how (or whether it's possible) to make any links clickable within the post text (mb using Markdown or something else?)
