Ask HN: Please review my most recent side project (cost behavior analysis)
3 points by hoop on Nov 6, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I made this web app because I found doing cost behavior analysis for my managerial accounting homework very tedious and relatively time-consuming.

Cost behavior analysis is the process of dividing a mixed cost into its variable and fixed components (math: Finding the slope and y-intercept of a line or "m" and "b" in the equation y = mx + b)

This app is written in Python on the Tornado framework and makes use of numpy, matplotlib, and MongoDB.

What can I do to make this app easier to use and more useful?

Personal grip - why do people not put these links in themselves?


A better question: Why doesn't HN automatically convert the URLs to links in the first place?

Thanks!
