📊 There are *so* many chart types out there. Which one should you use for what kind of data and goal?

I tried to answer the question in a new blog post (and poster!): www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-t...

Thanks for doing and sharing your research – fascinating! I really like the split continents map; haven't see this before.

Other mobile-friendly map approaches I know are
→ splitting a map in the middle (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)
→ rotating the map (www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/pol...)

Curious how different news sites visualize U.S. election results? Here are 25+ links — let me know in the comments which ones I missed!

🎉 New blog post! Choosing colors for a #dataviz on race, ethnicity or continents can be tricky. I collected lots of examples and wrote down 6 guidelines to help ensure all your readers feel respected by your color choices: blog.datawrapper.de/colors-for-r...

That looks beautiful! Haven't tried the colors, but the presentation is amazing. I really like the little charts on the side giving the L, C, and H "profiles". Great find!

I guess so, too! I quickly drafted a survey (forms.gle/UhExR8jzxe28... – the options shuffle randomly) with the questions I'd include, but I'm sure a stats person like @steveharoz.com could improve it.

I'm annoyed by the number of social networks these days, so I've decided to only read the feed of one of them for a month and then switch. (I'll still post & check notifications on each of them.)

I start here, with Bluesky. I'm looking forward to all your data visualizations, links, and opinions!

Hi! I'm trying to post more here.
Like this: Today I published a blog post that will hopefully help all of you who love data vis, but have no idea how to go from there to "actually creating great data vis".
It's full of my learnings from many years.
