The wildly popular ActBlue Ticker Tracker notebook on Observable visualizes ActBlue contributions over time, offering a near-real-time peek into when money is being raised. We recently spoke with developer Ryan Murphy, the creator of the notebook, to talk through how and why he built it, and what he learned along the way:

Users expect interactive analytics to be clear and performant — no matter what device they're on. Learn about chart types and strategies for delivering great data visualizations and user experiences in cramped spaces, on mobile phones, and as part of dense dashboards:

🧟 Slowly loading data apps and visualizations? Over our dead bodies. 💀 Observable's data loaders and baked data architecture means your users get the fastest interactive pages and graphics, every time. 🧹 It's not witchcraft, but it sure feels like it. Learn more:

Most data visualization grammars try to nudge you toward better bar charts by preventing you from truncating the y-axis. In our new post, we dive into the mechanisms of cropping axes in Observable Plot, propose relative bar charts as a good alternative, and explore similar issues with size encodings in maps and scatterplots.

Building the best visualizations isn't easy. If it was, every company would have rich, interactive data apps. The fact is that there's a lot of complexity involved in building data products — from data wrangling to making decisions about how to best present data in an app or dashboard. If you want to improve your charts, embedded analytics, and BI dashboards — and the workflows you use to build them — then you won't want to miss Observable Insight. At this live, virtual event you'll learn best practices, hear from experts, and discover new ways to tackle your biggest data challenges. Registration is open.

When done right, user-facing analytics can drive increased engagement with your product or app, and help move the needle on core product KPIs like DAU and repeat users. In our recent webinar, the Observable team discussed strategies for building more engaging analytics and dashboards for your users:

When your product or application includes analytics, it’s important to pay close attention to your end user’s data experience. How long do your dashboards take to load? When does your user’s data refresh? When done right, user-facing analytics can drive increased engagement with your product or app. Custom and fast data experiences can delight your users, build loyalty, and contribute to core product KPIs, like DAU and repeat users. But too often, user-facing analytics experiences are an afterthought for product managers. This webinar is designed for product managers and developers who are: - Considering building user-facing analytics experiences, such as visualizations or dashboards - Seeking to improve existing user-facing analytics in their app or digital product Our team will highlight some important considerations for product teams when building user-facing analytics, including: - How building dashboards for customers, clients, or end users differs from developing traditional, internal-facing BI dashboards - What you need to know to design useful, actionable data experiences for your users - Best practices around how and when to update your data, and much more!
