Hey everyone ! 👋
Behind the scenes, we’ve been cooking up something special to build a proper home for our community... and it's officially alive! 🛠️✨
We’re moving the party over to Discord! 🎉
Click the link below, jump in, and let’s get connected: 🔗 https://discord.gg/NTYpUEEVK

Today someone asked for the community chat and we sadly had to say there’s almost no one any more.

We’re working on updating the whole project and we’ll share huge news soon, but I was wondering…

Let’s throw some numbers! ✨

Another year has gone and
• more than one thousand people following us from all over the world, from students to professionals
• 47 submissions
• 8 special guests
• much love that keeps us going

Our small team of 3 is now made of 5 volunteers and we’re planning so many news and more structure for the new year. This is an appreciation post for all the support we received from this community, your effort and creativity that made all of this worth it, once again.

We wish you all the best Christmas time, some rest and being among love and peace, wherever you are.

See you in 2026, with even more energy and creativity!

👋 Hello community!

Hey everyone! 👀📉

🆕 New Monthly Topic: Beautify the Viz — but with a twist!

This month, your challenge is to take a bad chart — something messy, confusing— and transform it into something clear, beautiful, and effective ✨📊

In the starter pack 📦 you’ll find a not-so-great chart and the dataset behind it. Your mission? Redesign it and show us how thoughtful dataviz can turn confusion into clarity! 🪄🎨

💬 If you missed it, we already hosted a live session where we introduced the topic and walked through the starter pack — check it out for tips and ideas to get started!

☀️ And just a quick heads up: we’re taking a summer break in August, so there won’t be a new challenge next month. Now’s your chance to jump in and create before the pause!

We can’t wait to see how you’ll bring these charts back to life! 💡📐

A little surprise 🤭

Hey hey 🌿🌍

🔔 New Monthly Topic: Sustainability is here!

This month, we’re diving into our planet 💧🌱 — and we’ve got a ready-to-use dataset waiting for you in the starter pack 📦 to get you going.

Think about energy, waste, water, emissions, co2… there’s so much to explore. How can data tell the story of a more sustainable world? 🌎📊

Whether you’re a dataviz pro or just curious, this is your chance to create something meaningful — and maybe even inspiring 💡💚

We can’t wait to see your ideas take shape! Let’s make sustainability viral 💫

Helloooo ☀️🌸

Hello everybody,
How is going on with the challenge so far ? 🫶🏻

One of you notified us that there was a little problem in the amount showed in the dataset, that was because an incorrect conversion in google sheets, I transformed again the file with Power Quey, and loaded up a new version.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and wish you all a great challenge.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any trouble on working on the file or downloading it ✨
