MATLAB Central is proud to announce our newest community application – Trendy a service for tracking and plotting trends.

Use Trendy to track data on public webpages by two simple steps:

1. Write MATLAB Code to collect your data.
2. Write MATLAB Code to visualize the collected data as trends and plots.

Trendy will collect your data daily and stores it as a trend. Trendy uses your MATLAB code to plot your data, so make sure that you come back to see what your data looks like!
