For several years now, applications sprung up promising to make online visualization without code easy to do. They tended to feel like one-off projects or were a bit janky with usability. It feels like we might be at a turning point though with tools finding a balance between ease of use and flexibility.
Over the next few months, I’ll be looking more closely at the available apps to see what works and what doesn’t. In this issue, I start with Flourish.

The Process is a weekly newsletter on how visualization tools, rules, and guidelines work in practice. I publish every Thursday. Get it in your inbox or read it on FlowingData.
You also gain unlimited access to hundreds of hours worth of step-by-step visualization courses and tutorials, which will help you make sense of data for insight and presentation. Resources include source code and datasets so that you can more easily apply what you learn in your own work.
Your support keeps the rest of FlowingData open and assures the data keeps flowing freely.
