Congratulations, Darragh! Well deserved!

Today in @nextleveltableau.bsky.social's training session, we built a trellis chart in #Tableau using map layers; a quirky work-around to a tricky chart. 🤯 There's also a dynamic heatmap to show each borough's average daily calls. (Bluesky doesn't support GIFs yet). 😔

I’ve been wanting to test the limits with map layers in Tableau for a while now — thank you @sparsonsdataviz.bsky.social for sharing this awesome resource!

It was great chatting through my Pokémon #IronViz submission alongside @datavizlouis.bsky.social on his awesome podcast #SecretsOfTheViz. There were so many great submissions from the #datafam this year, so it’s an honor to be featured in the Christmas Special!

Check out the podcast to learn more!

Absolutely love this!! The UX is chef’s kiss

Hooked: how pokies are designed to be addictive Poker machines use a range of design features that leverage psychology to keep people playing. In this feature, first published in 2017, we break them down so you can see exactly how slot machines are...

Interesting piece by @theguardian.com on how slot machines are designed to keep people playing.

This article discusses how visual and sound choices are used to trigger psychological behaviors.

A Sankey diagram shows how a total of the 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic ever produced by humanity has ended up either being totally discarded, incinerated or still in use. 31% are still in use. The remainder have been dumped or burnt.

Guess what % of plastics have been #recycled? No prizes :(

A terrific theory that pairs well with the Economist's terrific and terrifying chart of Musk's tweeting.

This week’s #WOW2024 was an interesting one — building a candle line chart!

While fairly simple to build, this challenged me to think about how we usually show YoY change with line charts.

By de-emphasizing last year’s trend, the audience focuses more on the deltas YoY.

Chart Chat is undoubtedly my favorite. @datarevelations.com, @abmakulec.bsky.social, @acotgreave.bsky.social, and Jeffrey Shaffer dive into data visualization best practices and debates every month. Definitely worth checking out!

Hi Bluesky data people!

I just learned that the app supports custom feeds, so I created a new feed tailored for the data community 📊

Just 3 quick steps:
1️⃣ Click the # in the top-right of your home feed
2️⃣ Search for "#DataFam"
3️⃣ Click the +

Now you'll see the #DataFam feed next on your top bar 🥳

Slightly late to Bluesky to catch this post, but thank you @flerlagekev.bsky.social for the love on this viz!!

Honestly, so many incredible map designs going on in the #30DayMapChallenge.

I’d love to get them all in a book somehow.
