I'm most comfortable working in Javascript, and I'm not overly fond of databases, so I plan to focus mostly on developing the clientside engine to display more general statistics about the network.

I'll be pulling stats from the various data APIs available on Hyperboria.

## Name change and update

I started working on this repo intending to just improve the clientside graph display code. It turned out I'd need a bunch of support functions to display the new types of info I wanted. Those support functions took on a life of their own, and now I'm implementing a bunch of other cjdns-related functions in Javascript.

Developing these functions in Javascript instead of C means they're a fair bit slower, but it also means that they are:

1. more easily portable
2. easier to read, reason with, and debug
3. easily embedded into a variety of clientside applications (such as the original graph code)

This ultimately means that as we reimplement these functions, it will be easier to port them to other languages, like [Ruby](https://github.com/lgierth/cjdns.rb/blob/master/cjdns.rb).
