I know about Flourish and Datawrapper, but are there any other user-friendly map making apps people on here recommend? Specifically one that would be easy to map out clinic locations in a single state.

States spend too much on clunky election night reporting. We just replaced ours using #rstats. dbplyr backend + reactable & leaflet viz + #quartopub site. Real magic happened with programmatic code chunks & targets pipeline done by @andrew.heiss.phd. #dataviz
