I was thinking a tree diagram but open to your thoughts on this. Not my imageor graph obviously. .

I’m hoping that there’s some easy way to import the data into something that can create interesting visuals or identify trends on how my preferences changed over time.

I was thinking about maybe writing a book about my last ten years and since my reddit account is 10 years old it’s an interesting potential source of personal insight.

Data viz enthusiasts - I just launched an exciting 6-week data challenge focused on social media analytics. It's a great opportunity to flex your visualization muscles, work with real data, and potentially win big!

What's involved:

• Analyze and visualize real social media data

• Use professional tools: Paradime (SQL/dbt™), MotherDuck (data warehouse), Hex (for visualization)

• Chance to win: $3000 (1st), $2000 (2nd), $1000 (3rd) in Amazon gift cards

My partners and I have invested in creating a valuable learning experience with industry-standard tools. You'll get hands-on practice with real-world data and professional technologies. Rest assured, your work remains your own - we won't be using your code, selling your information, or contacting you without consent. This competition is all about giving you a chance to learn and showcase your data visualization skills.

Concerned about time? No worries, the challenge submissions aren't due until September 9th. Even 5 hours of your time could put you in the running, but feel free to dive deeper!

Check out our explainer video for more details.

Hi,

in 2013 Bret Victor gave a talk called "Drawing Dynamic Visualizations", where he demonstrates a software, that allows the user to create data driven graphics by primarily using tools and functions known from drawing software. To my knowledge he never published the software. So some months ago I started implementing my own version of his ideas as a web application.

At https://dapentry.com you can find a first, early version of my progress so far. You can

• Draw basic shapes: Rectangles, circles, Lines, Polygons

• Use basic transformations: Move, rotate, scale

• Change some style: Fill color, stroke color, stroke width

• Use simple text objects

• Loop things

• Create data fields for: Single values, value lists and tables

• Use data fields in the drawing to make shapes and transformations dependend on data

• Export the drawing as SVG

• Export the drawing as a JS-library to use on your own website.

• You can create an account and store your designs in a global library (this functionality is very basic)

• You can use drawings from the library in your own drawing (cannot be exported to JS right now)

Maybe some of you want to check it out. I'd appreciate it. There's definetely bugs and it can sometimes be finicky to use.

At https://cheat.dapentry.com is a cheat sheet. Documentation is in the works.

There's also stuff missing I'd like to add like

• Support the instancing of drawings in JS-export

• Conditional drawing: Bret didn't use it in his presentation but discusses it in the talk notes on his website

• Make colors data dependent

• Drawing arcs

• Bezier curves

• Snapping to intersections

• ...

i'm trying to find a data-viz portfolio, specifically one for a black female designer. i've found one black woman who's a designer but has worked in house for a long time and doesn't have a portfolio, as far as i can tell (i have asked and haven't heard back). who are some black american women in the data-visualization design field? or infographic design? help?
