I was thinking about doing it like a coiled phone cable and animate it with a camera movement from the center.

So here it is: my dumb data viz experiment. 🍩

✔️ Solves the continuity problem
❌ Harder to spot patterns
❌ Hours are visually distorted

But hey… not everything has to be practical, sometimes it’s just fun! 😅 Also: how cool would it be to create a physical object like this?

I came across those flat climate charts where x = day of year & y = hour of day. They’re neat, but the "cut" at January & midnight always felt arbitrary. 🤔
So I thought… what if we used a torus? The perfect loop for time & seasons!

🍩 What if climate looked like a donut? 🌍
Here’s a bunch of cities turned into a sweet dataviz experiment.

🟡 → comfy zone
🔴 → hot
🔵 → cold

Why a donut? Let me explain 👇

📈 Can Belgium reach 80% employment by 2030?

We created an interactive visual storytelling piece showing how age, gender, and location shape job opportunities.

I tried using AI to make these hybrid animals look more realistic… and failed spectacularly. 🤦‍♂️

It kept messing up the proportions, swapping animal parts randomly, or just refusing to follow the sequence. Maybe I just suck at prompting? 😅

I recently revisited @ourworldindata.org after learning that @maxroser.bsky.social received honorary doctorates from KU Leuven & UC Louvain for his work in making global trends more accessible (Congrats for that!). This viz by @hannahritchie.bsky.social caught my eye—and inspired my own take on it!

Ever wondered what a country’s meat supply looks like? 🍗🐄🐖🐟

Here’s a breakdown of meat preferences in Japan, the US & Germany—visualized as hybrid animals! A fun (and slightly cursed) way to see food stats. 🧵👇

They say every true ceramist must make a porcelain teapot to earn their stripes... So, does this count? 🫖

Here’s a new dataviz experiment: exploring letter frequencies in different languages using variable fonts. The width of each letter stretches with its usage frequency. Not sure how I feel about the result—kind of cool, kind of meh. 🤔 What do you think? #dataviz #experiments

Here are the all-time most popular baby names in the US (male & female)! 👶 Each letter's height shows how trendy the name was over time. 📈✨

Check for yourself and search your name 👉 baby-names.jetpack.ai

I built a fun little app to explore baby name trends over time! 👶📈 Type your name, watch its popularity evolve, and create a unique visual. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

For what it’s worth: an alternative view on the 2024 U.S. Election Map 🗳️
This map scales states by electoral weight, preserving the U.S. shape for recognition. Voronoi-based shapes within each state show exact elector counts, with an animation transitioning from the traditional map to this cartogram
