Hi!
But don't write something for graphs for scratch!
Yea, I don't envy you working with lua based web frameworks. I really
appreciate your work here.
Maybe you could make some presentation of how this is done some day? I
would like to hear some insights on the language and the framework. It
will be then easier to hack on.

Yeah luckily for me, I have some experience with JS
graphing libraries,
which is a lot better than the zero experience I have with lua based
web frameworks....
