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. :)

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...
On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

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.
