What great examples of Data Visualization have you seen on Indiehackers?

I have been playing around with different ways of visualizing data (via Python's libraries and JS libraries, mostly), but never did anything concrete.

Would love to see any examples from the IH community :)

    I'm working on a social polling application that helps users visualize their social bubbles. Responses are anonymous but are grouped based on a users connections to other members on the app.

    Ex: 'In-Network', 'Out-of-network'

    Polls displayed in the app are limited to binary response options. Bubbles that represent a users social network straddle the two response options to indicate how members within each bubble have responded to a poll.

    The intent is to show users where they stand on a topic or issue relative to their network.

    I have screenshots on my landing page - https://www.rapidfirefeedback.com/

    ...hopefully it makes sense when you see it, haha! Would definitely be open to feedback - thanks in advance!

    I found this great site yesterday on Product Hunt: transplant.to. Nice example of data visualization.

    My current project aggregates tech reviews (recorank.com), but I haven't thought of many ways to visualize the data. I'm open to suggestions.

      Hi @tavislochhead - just a couple thoughts... I think if you make 'Categories' the default selection it would clarify things a bit. When I first landed on the site I wasn't clear on the scope of products I could expect to find. Visually I think the site is really appealing but I think you might re-consider the organization of products. I think you have groups within the categories that you could bring to the surface to create a better user experience ... for example games, photography, PC's and Laptops, TV and Home Theatre. If you could show the user this layer it would a) manage their expectations about the kinds of products that you have on the site and b) let them drill into what matters for them.

      Cool project!
