Here's my general #workflow I followed and some tools I used during the entire challenge:
- Explore and manual tweak in #GoogleSheets if data was already summarized
- Clean, filter in #Observable using #Arquero. Do in #R (or #Python if you use it) if the data is heavy with more than 100MBs in data which was not my case.
- Draft visualize in #ObservablePlot or #Rawgraphs for fancier and nice charts. Choosing charts must be intentional and purposeful that would make the most out of the discovered insight.
- Export as #SVGs and do the magic visual tweakings in #Adobe#Illustrator to make them prettier.
Day 1 of the #30DayMapChallenge: Exploring Nuclear Power Reactors Worldwide!
Today, I kicked off the challenge by diving into the world of #JavaScript and #ObservablePlot.
Huge thanks to the amazing #Observable team for their fantastic Introduction to Observable Plot sessions!
We are so excited to announce Plot Cheatsheets - an interactive overview with printable PDFs to explore each of the foundational concepts of the Observable Plot library including: Marks, Scales, Transforms, Layout & Colors

I'm quite proud of where we ended up with this article. it's surprising how little custom code was used!
the combination of @observablehq#ObservablePlot components makes for such a powerful authoring experience. especially when collaborating w/ @mf_viz and @zanstrong

one of my favorite things about #observableplot is how much you get to see along the way. like, before you get to the perfect working chart you get to see all this weird stuff. sometimes it shows you something you didn't think to think about!

I grew up watching the Simpson's, now I've seen it in a new light:

when the top 20 characters said their lines in each of almost 600 episodes.
data linked in notebook, so much more to explore...
