I wish there were more concrete examples on the home page of what can be accomplished with Time Door . Bonus points if there was some interactive demo where I could immediately play around with the library in some sandbox. Too many landing pages these days require sign up to understand what the product does.
Hey,
Thanks for your feedback, very helpful. Interactive demo is on the road map. I have just added a tutorial on how to use our API with fast data streams (very early work in progress): https://timedoor.xyz/tutorials/fast-data-streams
All endpoints in the documentation provide request and response examples. So currently you could create an API key, copy an example request and use a REST client like Insomnia or Postman to play around with our API (which obviously is not ideal).
I will factor your feedback into our prioritization for the next features.

I do a lot of time series analysis in the industrial sector and this is very interesting.
Second the request for demo and examples. Even the reoccurring problem would be really useful.
I'm certainly going to follow you guys as this is part of a larger problem I work with everyday.

Hi Dave,
Thank you, that means a lot coming from someone with your experience.
Based on the feedback, the demo has a high priority for us, so we should have something in the next few days.

Great idea and looks well executed!
There's also a good opportunity here for a theme/pun involving API keys and the Time Door...

Thanks!
We had named the custom authentication header 'X-Time-Door-Token' at first and then switched it to 'X-Time-Door-Key' :)
The name Time Door also has a cool pop-cultural reference, which can be found on our 404 page.

Took a quick read. It’s not clear how the time series model (e.g., ARIMA) is selected.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that there is some information missing. We will extend the documentation in the coming days to fill in missing information.
Heads up that there's a typo: "Algortihmic variety"
Right, just fixed it. Thanks!
This looks pretty neat at first glance - however, the pricing being “pay for how long your API calls take to execute” seems incredibly difficult to even guess at what a per month price would be. Simple, sure. Clear? I don’t think so
Great feedback, thanks! We will make the pricing more transparent.
We (a close friend and me) built this over the past 9 weeks in our free time. I want to say thanks to my friend for all the productive nights we spent together.
I have often experienced that I have time series data generating processes as part of a project and then have to set up project-specific time series analysis infrastructure. While I was working on another project where this was the case, I had the idea for Time Door.
We are currently working on responding to all the mails. Thanks to everyone who reached out and/or created a Time Door account.
