All visualizations (except the map) in this project where built with #SveltePlot by @driven-by-data.net. Very nice to work with, offering quite some flexibility in terms of custom marks and responsive adaptation.

Oooh! 😍😍 These are some extraordinary works! The datavisualizations of W.E.B. du Bois re-imaged with 21 Century data by Shraddha Ramani and William Villalongo using different printing techniques. Go see it if you're in NY! ( #jealousofyou) www.highpointprintmaking.org #social #dataviz

The consistency of Amanda's @not-ship.com visual investigations is so relentlessly world class. That she's doing this solo and not with a wider team nor as part of a publication is pretty amazing. www.not-ship.com/w/

Nice map. Tells you so much when you know Germany. You can clearly see all the diffeent mountain chains and the mono-culture in the north.

Excellent!

Excellent example for a good scatterplot!

I've just done the largest update to the #dataviz starter pack, with 30 accounts (20%) replaced. It means it will generate more content now. Might be worth re-clicking. Sadly, gender imbalance got worse. I saved 5 spots for women-run accounts. Send suggestions, including yourself! Replies or DMs.

I made a Svelte component wrapper around Rough.js for creating graphics with a hand-drawn, sketchy appearance 😄

This site is actually quite smart. See full thread for story 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

This is very cool stuff ! 💯

Agreed. This why I build a dedicated website for bike counters in Montreal: compteurs-cycliste.r42.ca So people can actually get an overview or a more complete picture on how much cycling has gained traction over the past years. Thanks for sharing @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social

Thanks to @datawrapper.de for including the World Cup polygon treemap in the latest Data Vis Dispatch. The microsite is now live: world-cup-26.r42.ca more to come...

I am using #LayerChart from @techniq.dev for the first time and I am absolutely stunned how well IA agents can understand and translate my requirements (series labels with dodging, #dataWrapper style date axis, modern gridlines, line interpolation..) This task took me weeks when I hand coded them!

Preparing a new micro website with team stats of the #WorldCup2026. Preview - should be ready before we know who wins.

I added a new visual to the #Montreal #bikeCounter project. Which bike counter sees the most cyclists — and does that change over the year? Hover over the lines and find out. Data updates daily, the race is on. Project: compteurs-cycliste.r42.ca

Public data is only useful if people can actually use it. After Montréal restored public access to its bike counter data last month, I decided to built a dashboard to explore cycling trends across these counters. 🚲 compteurs-cycliste.r42.ca Regularly updated as new data becomes available.

There are a lot of interesting chart variations in this addendum to the report of the Canadian Climate Institute. I guess, I should read the report to entirely understand them 😅

@albertocairo.com talks about the 20th anniversary of Hans Rosling's TED talk and the impact it had on him — and probably on the whole field. 📊

wow!

This report was a HUGE effort from everyone across the City Intelligence Unit!! Really proud of my team for delivering the design and engineering. This digital release builds on years of development of our #Svelte component library, and London City Data Design System! 🥳 📊 #dataviz

Nice find while travelling in Europe. German version of Atlas de la mondialisation (published by Le Monde diplomatique).

This is not an analytics reporting (...Magritte, get out of this body). But about the post-modern data stack, or how to build the digital analytics solutions of tomorrow... ..a glimpse into what a future digital analytics data stack output might look like. #DataViz #Analytics 1/6🧵

The background radiation of the Internet is noisy. Very very noisy. But sifting through the noise can tell you a lot.

I haven't been here for ages, is this still going? #dataviz people, are you there?

Just realized that I need to rename all occurrences of "Looker Studio" in my portfolio to "Google Data Studio". 🙈 www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

For chart history freaks!!

Nice!

This is one of the best recent summaries of software development in agentic times.

This video is an absolute beauty!

New in SveltePlot: Raster Mark I don't understand yet the full concept, but it allows you too interpolate values to create a raster in image format. svelteplot.dev/marks/raster Kudos to @driven-by-data.net

I made an animated map of ship movements in the Straights of Hormuz using data from marinetraffic.com. Ship track frames rendered using #ggplot, base map created using #gdal, video editing using #ffmpeg, video player written in #svelte. 🎁 www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

When D3 was released in February 2011, it transformed how we build data visualizations for the web and ushered in a new age of unbridled creativity in information design, data journalism, and beyond. Today, it remains the backbone of modern, interactive data viz. Happy 15th birthday, D3 🎂 d3js.org

This new visual start to work out really nice: A Likert scale bar chart with neutral values in the center and automatic calculations of the overall score (in this example: net score). Still a few features missing, but getting there.

Massive update. 👍

The Winter Olympics are almost over. A good moment to look back at the stream of medals over time. The Olympics try to stay apolitical, but this steamgraph still reflects European history, much like cold winters leave marks in a tree’s rings. Created in #PowerBI with: r42.ca/articles/tim...

When running #DataViz workshops, one question that often gets asked is "what's your favourite ever chart?" 📊 So I've started compiling some of the awesome visualisations made by other people that I often share! A very much a work-in-progress, non-exhaustive list: nrennie.rbind.io/fave-data-viz/

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

Nice analysis of a nicely done chart.

😂

brutal bag of charts by @ashendruk.com www.not-ship.com/america-isnt...

Fascinating good old times style. ❤️

This is an amazing weekend lecture. 🧡

Nice video showcasing how data visualization can help to bring a point across the audience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nw6... Using a 3D map showing revenues and expenses of a city (probably made with deck.gl), the author is pretty convincing in telling us that walkable cities are a good thing.

These two visuals are now also available on the Power BI Marketplace and mostly free to use, even without a license. Simple visuals, no coding required like when using the Deneb visual.

Ohhh, this one is amazing. Visual gallery of SveltePlot.

Including Waffle charts!

Installing @processing.org on my new laptop, and @winterbloed.be's classic HE_Mesh library!! Brilliant library! Even the examples are ace! :)
