# Focal [](https://travis-ci.org/kabisaict/focal) [](https://codeclimate.com/github/kabisaict/focal) [](https://gemnasium.com/kabisaict/focal)
Focal is a tool to create sexy burndowns from one ore more Pivotal Tracker
projects.
_Note: at this time Focal is still in early development and probably not
usable for anything else than adding more features and fixing bugs._
See the github wiki for more details.
## Benefits
With focal it's easy to get insight into your current and past iterations. With
all the data that focal gathers on a daily basis it's also possible to create
more detailed and interesting graphs and charts.
## Deployment
Simple clone and push to Heroku. A PostgreSQL database will be created for you.
**Migrate the database**
heroku run bundle exec rake db:migrate
**Login and change password**
/admin
Default ActiveAdmin credentials apply: `admin@example.com` with `password`.
Change these directly!
**Configure a burndown**
Create a new burndown. Fill in the entire form.
**Import manually**
Import data manually to see if everything's working okay:
heroku run bundle exec rake focal:import
You should now be able to see a burndown at `/burndowns/:id`.
**Schedule imports**
Add the Heroku scheduler add-on and schedule a **daily** job, preferably
about an hour or so before your stand-up with this command:
bundle exec rake focal:import
That's all there is to it. Feel free to create more burndowns if you like.
## Development
Focal is tested against ruby 1.9.3 and ruby-2.0.0. Setting Focal up for local
development is pretty straight forward:
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed # To generate a sample burndown
A rake task exists if you want to pull real data from Pivotal Tracker (note that
this does not work with the seed burndown):
rake focal:import
