Display only labels on a scatter plot
For example, plotting two values for all 50 states in an X-Y scatter plot. Rather than displaying a dot and labeling only outliers, remove the dot, and plot the labels (2 letter state code).

Add an option to suppress the embed menu (Sharing) when the embed is of a private chart
If I make an embed of a private chart, I sometimes want to make it harder for users to disseminate that chart. I understand that because of the way that html works there is no way for me to avoid a user who can view the html code from figuring out how to share the chart. And currently, only users that I have personally invited can view private content regardless of whether or not it is embedded or on the verifiable.com website.

sort by a variable that has scrolled off the top of the details panel
I cannot drag the variable I want to sort on to the "Sort" box. My browser window cannot get tall enough to show the "Sort" box and the "Variables" I want. I cannot get the Details pane to scroll while I am dragging a variable.

Trelis visualization
If 9 or less unique values, add ability to Trelis by that value (i.e., create a seperate chart with just those values). Individual graphs would need to state what the value is they represent.

Longer text boxes for custom annotation.
I would like to be able to drag the sides of text boxes in order to pull them to any size. See
http://verifiable.com/app#/charts/5032
I had to use 3 text boxes to get "Percent of GDP (gross domestic product" on one line. I had to use 2 text boxes for "Source: OECD Health Data 2009".3 votes -
Automatically detect columns in 2-column, plain-text pastes where only spaces separate the columns.
The "Upload Public Data" button on the home page was used. Then the "Paste Data" tab. I pasted in 2-column, plain-text data. The 2 columns were only separated by spaces. This is how many people would like to add data. It is intuitive, and requires no knowledge of spreadsheets. Anybody can do this. As in "here is my data" and "Please let me make a chart now." Here is how it ends up on the data page when the draft is finalized:
http://verifiable.com/app#/data_sets/4995Before it was finalized I could see 2 columns, but both columns were listed under "A".

programmatically or periodically, automatically append to a data set
I have data sets that periodically (daily or hourly) grow by a few data points. I store a copy of the data set at verifiable.com. I would like an API to keep the copy in sync with my master data set, or have verifiable.com pull my master data set when it is accessed. Charts based off the data should be update as the data set changes.

Stuck at "Choose X Axis Variable"
I can't get a chart out of my data. I click on "new chart" and I pick a chart type. Then it asks for "Choose X Axis Variable". I see no place to do that.

Control timestamp labels on axis
One of my axis is timestamps on my bar chart. Based on the data, verifiable helpfully put labels on day boundaries. For my needs (to illustrate my point), I need labels (or at least clear tick marks or a grid) at least every 4 hours, every 2 would be better.
