After doing some IoT projects for fun you come to the point, where you start looking for platforms or sites where you can store different sensor data and visualize it.
Usually when you follow tutorials or guides you will find mentions of limited platforms, which are not always the best for your needs.
Some provide very good connectivity and are highly supported from communities with lots of examples and support. Some provide very good visualization options and they are easy to setup.
Because I live in Europe I was not satisfied with having only US based options, but so far I was not able to find any solution which I can try myself.
