Apriori visualizes relationships between any pair of variables in a Salesforce database, using pure math to rank the best graphs and a crisp, mobile interface to show them off.

I designed the app, helped code the frontend with Ratchet, built the Ruby on Rails backend and integrated it with Force.com.
