When you request too much data from Holistics, the browser can become unresponsive and crash. This provides a VERY bad experience for some of our end users and have driven them away from using this resource. We do of course try to train them to only request smaller datasets, but the definition of “small” is hard to fully define.
Instead of crashing, I would strongly prefer if Holistics could make some guesses about how much memory my browser is capable of dealing with and if I’ve requested too much data on a chart, we should get a message that we’ve requested too much and need to narrow our search. This would be much better than just crashing and having to start over.
