edit
Yesterday
  • Reviewed everything in the queue
  • Tried to figure out why the E2E test fails, but it seems like it's because beta is really slow at the moment
  • Tried to display the country data as a map in limn, but it turns out that geo data in limn has to be json, there is no geo adapter for tsv, so we'll need to generate json instead of tsv for those metrics. Emailed some questions to analytics to verify my assumptions
