[bit off-topic, more about the viz itself than the plugin repo policy on "experimental" status]

The innermost cells are so much smaller than the outer ones, and this distorts our perception of what is important. That might be fixable by varying the radius non-linearly but that might look weird. A straightforward rectangular heat map with square cells doesn't have this problem. I appreciate you lose the wraparound when plotting hours of the day over many days, or days of the week over many weeks, but this circular plot can only do that in one dimension anyway. For instance in the examples on the plugin page I can't easily compare Sunday to Monday - the inner ring should connect to the outer ring, forming a doughnut in 3d! You can put a rectangular heatmap inside 8 copies of itself if you want to emphasise the periodic repeating nature of a dimension, or even make an interactive heatmap the user can drag infinitely, with the image repeating - basically mapping the 3d doughnut onto a 2d sqare!
