Easier Embedding

One of the key features of Timetric is that we let you embed our data into your own site. We want to be the place to go when you’re looking for data to view and analyze, but we reckon that when it comes to layering interpretation over the top, the best place for that is on your own blog or website.

To make this easier, we’ve put a big ‘Share this series‘ button on the pages of all public series, which when clicked will reveal:

New Embed UI

The immediate benefits are that you now have access to the code which will give you a sparkline (a common request!), and that either bit of code can be quickly copied to your clipboard using the little button at the side (thanks to Tom Preston-Werner’s Clippy). We don’t plan to stop here though — look out for more advanced features over the coming months!
