If you intend to use the software, you should generally download a release. Releases usually (as is the case here) include the configure scripts.

There's https://kallithea-scm.org, but I haven't tried it.

Yes, at least Ubuntu and Gentoo do.

It does have enough memory for the web interface - at least for the one in KAMIKAZE (8.09.2, r18961), the version mine is running.

I see that you're making the API requests on the client side (a good idea because of last.fm's API restrictions), but you should really consider caching them server side.

It takes quite a while to fetch all plays if you have a lot, and currently, if you want to share the graph with your friends, they would have to wait too.

I see the same problem in Opera too, except it's even worse (the animation lags, and it hogs a whole CPU core).

Explorer is better than Firefox and Opera, but still pretty high CPU usage.

The only browser of the ones I tested that it seems to be relatively fine in is Chrome.

tobbez··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp - AwesomeVocab.com
Overall I like the app, and not being a native speaker there's quite a few words it could help me learn even with its current vocab.

Found a minor issue, though: the links in the upper right are clickable, even when they aren't visible.
