Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

bluesky-map.theo.io

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Once is a test, twice is a habit. To mark the end of 2025, we’re making a habit out of reflecting on our growth as a team through this second edition of Our Year In Numbers.

Today, @vonter.bsky.social and I launched cbfc.watch, an archive of over 100k censorship records for ~18k movies released in India since 2017. For the first time, you can search for any movie and see how they were modified before release.

The site is fun to explore, but here's some #dataviz in it!

Coming back from Miami where @datavizsociety.bsky.social hosted their annual conference Outlier and the Information is Beautiful awards. Absolutely ecstatic about @revisual.co winning Silver for "Outstanding Studio". We celebrated the award and our two year anniversary on the same day. :)

Very excited that I will be visiting Miami for Outlier and the IIB awards this year. @revisual.co has two shortlisted entires, and I will be diving deep into the behind the scenes of one of them for this talk. But mostly very excited to learn and be inspired from some lovely people!

In data visualization design, we often assume the goal is to minimise the effort required to 'see' the data. And that adding support a title and annotation is the route to memorability.

But sometimes making something more effortful achieves memorability and understanding more effectively...

Finally caught up with @chartwaali.bsky.social, founder of @revisual.co. We have those talks about once a year, but we should have more.

She's curious, a good listener, a born information designer and an important person in the dataviz field; someone who does great things and will do more.

The image features a modern, minimalistic design with a white background. The text in the center reads:

"DATA IS THE NEW OIL SOIL, SO WHAT WILL YOU GROW?"

The word "OIL" is crossed out and replaced with "SOIL," emphasizing a shift in perspective. The word "GROW" is in large, bold letters.

Below, in smaller text, it says:
"We’re creating something special. Stay tuned."

The design includes geometric lines in pastel shades of orange, blue, and pink, connected by dark circular nodes, creating a structured yet dynamic layout.

Four months ago, some of the coolest minds on the Indian internet asked: If data is the new soil, what will you grow?

That’s how @vizchitra.bsky.social was born. Now, we’re ready to share it with the world.

What is it? Who are we? What are we creating?

Stay tuned to find out! 🌱
