*shamelessplug* Here's my Digg app - Rigglations. It shows relationships between Digg users. Uses Konfabulator, not Apollo, but still cross-platform. <a class="user" href="http://www.shirazlabs.com/rigglations.">http://www.shirazlabs.com/rigglations.</a>

Sorting by Diggs is broken. 70 comes after 600. ASCIIbetical sort?

I don't see a way either to go to the stories... If the author can add links from the story titles and the popularity pay chart to the story, and other navigation options to this I can see that this might well be a useful home-ish page. Other suggestions: 1) make the individual Categories and Topics click-able so that I can see the stories "similar" to the one shown. (I know I can set that at the top, but it would be nicer to click on it in the story description) 2) I'd like a "Text" or color encoding of the graph in each story description. I'd like to see a 11 character bar that showed the popularity over the last hours of a story, Thus the story that became popular last hour and then died would be shown as: "000000095" that way I could immediately see the trend of the stories popularity.

I was trying to view the stories as well. Doesn't work!

I agree, if I can't get to the story I'm looking at, what's the point of the graph?

This is an exciting and innovative GUI for Digg, that I really like.However, a note to the developer: I run PC with extended desktop. At 1600x1200 in Firefox with five different toolbars and the status bar, this looks fantastic. At 1024x768, on my notebook's display, it looks cluttered and everything is squished to the point where it is not pleasing.Thanks for the submission --Elliott
