I can't tell if this is getting hammered right now or I'm not using it correctly. I put a topic in and nothing happens...

It did work for one topic after a while, but I'm not sure if I was just lucky or did something different.

Great idea though, I hope I can get it working later!

It's a pretty large dataset for d3 to be loading, so it can take quite a while. It also seems to struggle on firefox. I have alot to learn about web app optimizations and building for multiple browsers and devices. And generally anything frontend :p.

Try waiting quite a while before interacting with it. An example topic "data science" should initialize the map data eventually.

In my case, Mac El Cap, FireFox will briefly load a topic and immediate reset the page. Safari appears as a giant no-op.
