Many years ago two salesmen were sent by a British shoe manufacturer to Africa to investigate and report back on market potential.

The first salesman reported back, “There is no potential here – nobody wears shoes.”

The second salesman reported back, “There is massive potential here – nobody wears shoes.”

As you may remember, last month, I described my first experiment: to get a bare-bones web application up-and-running.

Ok, so what might a bare-bones, no-fluff app look like?

1. The user enter texts which describes a diagram.
2. Kinetic then generates the diagram (in PNG image format) from that textual description.
3. Kinetic then displays the generated PNG diagram to the user.

Remember the original sketch?

Well, now that it’s done, here’s how it really turned out. Check it out at: http://www.kineticdiagrams.com/experiment1

What do you think so far?
