how it works

This example was live-coded at the Wolfram Research booth at SXSW, March 12, 2014.

Store an empty list of data in the Wolfram Cloud:

In[1]:=
X
Out[1]=

Deploy a URL that adds a value to the data list and plots the cumulative result. Each time you visit the URL with a value specified in the query stringfor example, ?data=3the value is added to the data in the cloud and the result is plotted:

In[2]:=
X
Out[2]=

These hyperlinks add various values to the data:

In[3]:=
X

After clicking the 1, 3, 2, and 5 links, the output looks like this in the cloud:

Deploy a function to clear the accumulated data:

In[4]:=
X
Out[4]=
