Ads were way too aggressive on iOS, pop up videos interfered with the use. I have a genuine interest in the topic but the ads just made my trust dissipate under a minute.
It'd be a better site as a single page listing all the charts types (like seaborn docs) but then you wouldn't have to click past two ads to see what a box-and-whisker plot looks like
i disagree that this is better because the OP is about why you would choose a given viz and what it actually expresses usefully, where this example is just pictures people can fit their data to for slides.
direction matters. most sankey diagrams could be pie charts (eg the birthday sankey) and dumb usages discredit useful viz techniques.
nested boxes are usually trees, and mixed nested boxes with lines without symmetry are almost always lazy reasoning or bullshit. start with symmetry and intent and it will be apparent.

What would you recommend for a series of events over time, where events can also link to other events?
Similar to a graph of nodes with a time component.
I have been scratching my head around this visualization problem it has been some time, and still haven’t found anything that would be applicable
Good potential, appreciate the organization of topics but not the ads and clickbait stuff.

Click the header menu buttons.
Thanks for that!
Much better!
Would love to see less ads on this.
