Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz. We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well. So I wrote about that in my latest article: blog.datawrapper.de/text-in-data-v…

We just released an exploration I've been wanting to do for a while: ✨✨ Can we visualize a codebase? ✨✨ We always look at our code in a file/folder list - what would a bird's-eye-view look like, and how could that enhance our understanding of code? octo.github.com/projects/repo-…

Thank you so much to everyone who joined our book launch yesterday 💖 and thank you @AlbertoCairo+@tamaramunzner for joining our celebration and @jlengstorf for managing our stream 🙏 ICYMI → youtu.be/qkoEN0P29Q0 P.S. I made flower earrings specially for the launch 😆🌸

🚀 Happy to release tidy.js today on npm. Inspired by the tidyverse and dplyr, tidy.js aims to bring the ergonomics of data wrangling from #Rstats to the js (and typescript) community. site: pbeshai.github.io/tidy/ (+ playground) repo: github.com/pbeshai/tidy

@fcanas Oh wow, so fun to see the experiments!

@DataToViz Poorly. Masking fluid lifted paint in places and wouldn’t come off in others. I think it was too thin in places. Maybe need to slow down the plot & pause to pump the pen. I’ll also try a ruling pen, different paint & thickness underneath, etc. Lots of variables to play with 😊

@sxywu So beautiful 😍😍😍

I’m realizing that with all this time inside I gravitate towards my computer (or switch) when I have nothing to do...so I decided to pick up a hobby that doesn’t involve screens! These are my first attempts, I’m especially proud of that flower I made without a mold 🌸✨

Couldn't have said it better 🙌

Every month we’ll be hosting a live Q&A with experienced dataviz practitioners answering questions from early career professionals. Here’s our first, focused on resumes and portfolios, featuring a panel of @DataToViz, @Jasonforrestftw & @Elijah_Meeks. youtube.com/watch?v=SnPxMj…

I don’t know if you heard but a year ago today we founded the @DataVizSociety and Hajra surprised me with this DVS birthday bear to wish DVS a happy bearthday. You can see it on insta here: instagram.com/p/B80chOLHXmC/ #bearthday

@Captaintobs Whoa!

Some more progress tonight... #18xx

@sxywu @stinadacanay @tomyumnoodz @ITP_NYU Gorgeous 😍

I worked w/ @stinadacanay+@tomyumnoodz @ITP_NYU on a physical #dataviz of 16 incredible but often unknown women in computing, represented as orbs that glow brighter as they're read✨ It's our love letter to all the women & we hope you enjoy reading it 🥳 oneamongstmany.com

@Anagobarreto 🤘🤘🤘

@NatashaMitchko @samccone O.m.g. 😭😭😭💀

@samccone I’m basically asleep on this call right now

Seems like a weird move to require your devs to do prod deployments between 10pm and 2am 💤

Put together a little #dataviz proof of concept during a hack week at work last week. It's a 3D faceted search UI using #reactjs, #threejs, and react-three-fiber. 50,000 objects at 60 FPS in the browser is pretty sweet!!

@zanstrong @enjalot Thank you 😊

this is a much watch for anyone trying to visualize data within organizations! still thinking about a couple of the points @DataToViz raises

Looking at different generations' size vs. share of US wealth over time
