Hi everyone! This is the result of my compulsive bookmarking of data visualization tools over a three year period. I know, the last thing the web really needs is another curated collection. But for data storytelling/visualization there's not a comprehensive and regularly updated directory. So, I whittled down my 900+ bookmarks to about 400. Hope it's of help to people!

Parabola

Hi @carlvlewis, thanks for putting this together and for including us! What's the best approach if we think there may be some better ways to categorize our tool (Parabola)? You currently have us under dashboards, but we primarily focus on data cleaning, wrangling, conversion, etc. Here's our recent PH listing for more info: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@alexyaseen Ahh, good point! Have only briefly toyed with Parabola, but was initially impressed by its dashboard features -- will add it to data wrangling at the very least and see if it can fit in cleaning/conversion upon further testing/playing. Thanks!

@alexyaseen I've added a collaborative Google Sheet that I use to populate the site's listings to the submission page; for reference, if you want to submit edits/additions/changes, add the relevant data to the "For Review" sheet in the workbook here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsh...?

Data Look

Great collection! I haven't found a great desktop app for simple exploration tasks (sorting, filtering). I code in Python an usually view my data in Excel. Excel has nice sorting and filtering options. But it's not perfect, especially when the file gets larger than, say, 20 MB. @carlvlewis: What's your favorite desktop app to simply view your data (e.g. CSVs)?

@tobipfaff Just to view? I typically revert to Excel or, for a more lightweight task, simply CSVIew: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/.... For exploratory tasks, I like Trifacta Wrangler or Tableau Public (the latter more for EDA, of course). I also should point out that Google Sheets is also pretty powerful. Oh, and also of note as of late, VizyDrop, available free for web use: https://vizydrop.com/

Data Look

@carlvlewis Thanks - just tried CSView and it's nice and lightweight. However, it doesn't support sorting or filtering. I often work with sensitive data that I can't put in the cloud so Google Sheets is not an option. Not sure about Trifacta Wrangler regarding data privacy?

Pakible

@carlvlewis @vongillern @sr_visual_info Any apps you know that display your tabular data beautifully (not charts, but just simple data tables)? Ideally it'd be a web-app/plugin that'd allow you to import a CSV, you play with the colors/formatting, and then potentially iframe it. In terms of appearance, I'm looking for something as if Stripe made it or something 😍 😍

WebDataRocks Pivot Table

@carlvlewis @vongillern @sr_visual_info @nwkwan Hi Nick! I'd like to tell you about the tool that matches the functionality you've described. It's called WebDataRocks Pivot - a JavaScript component that allows connecting CSV or JSON data, aggregating, filtering and sorting data on the grid, highlighting cells will colors, formatting numbers, and exporting resulting tabular reports into PDF, HTML or Excel. One thing that I love the most is its ability to integrate with charting libraries. Due to this, you can send aggregated data right to the charts. This approach makes data visualization more complete and mighty. I recommend to try it since it's free :) https://www.webdatarocks.com/ 👈

I remember this being a very cool site, but it looks like the domain has lapsed, alas. @carlvlewis - any plans to bring it back?

'Data Viz' and 'curation' - two of my favorite phrases together!!!! This is a winner for me! :) I think I love you, Carl!

Excellent collection, much of course is outdated, but still very good. I am engaged in data visualization using GoJS and such tools are needed in the work, you can often find new and interesting ideas :) https://synergycodes.com/

Love it Carl - I think it is a great resource well done! I have been researching Datavis tools and one I found that I don't think is on any of your lists is Looker https://looker.com/ - I am nothing to do with them but am thinking of signing up to use their service and think it looks great, albeit quite expensive!
