Hi Everyone,
Awhile back I posted some info on a project that I was working on called imp.guru. Basically it was a plotting front end for data.sparkfun.com where you can enter your stream public key and then plot data. In my mind imp.guru was pretty successful, so far users have added 219 streams, some of then receiving more than 2000 views and the site gets about 100 visits per day. That's nothing for most other web apps but considering that I haven't really done that much marketing, I think that it is a success, especially for what I would consider a "Minimum Viable Product"
Anyway, for the last 4 months I've been working on a new site called analog.io. I'm getting ready to release it to the public but want to get a few more users involved. @cubeberg has been already using it for some time and as far as I know, I think that he is liking it:

I definitely wouldn't say that it is perfect but I really need some more beta users to help me prioritize the next set of features. If anyone is interested in signing up, please give it a try at the following link:

One thing that is lacking right now is marketing content for the site, I'm still figuring out how I want to present it concisely. But I'm attaching some screen shots so you can know what it is like before signing up.
One other note that makes analog.io totally different than any other IoT cloud service is that it has a distributed backend based on the open source library called phant. What that means is that you can run a phant server on any hardware that you would like and analog.io can connect to it. You could even host Phant on Raspberry Pi or a Beagle Bone and never let the data leave your LAN. I'd definitely be interested in individuals who would like to test that out.
Otherwise there are other fun things as well such as iPython notebooks for doing data processing in the cloud and the ability to host your own isolated phant server on a dedicated Virtual Private server.
Very interested in your questions and comments!
