"But I don't want a 'notebook', I just want to connect to my database and start looking at stuff."
I got you.
"I got a fever... and the only prescription is more.... [visual composition of nested data structures]"
I love procrastination projects.
Dynamic micro-dashboarding / SQL drag-n-drop tool based solely on @SeanCorfield honey-sql and @metasoarous Oz viz. Open sourcing next month.
Experiment of "Rabbit ideas", but hyper targeted into a single use case. Psyched. #clojure #dataviz
Hey #Tableau peeps - building a simple viewer to try and help "untangle" action / filter / param / nested-calc spaghetti logic in dashboards.
Reads .TWB files and outputs flow maps like this.
Useful?
Some overnight "single-user tier" stress testing. 4 boards, each with 40 query/viz panels - each refreshing every 10 seconds; SQL cache off, all bells and whistles on. 🐇
Fell in love with flow-based programming interfaces back before I even knew (or cared) what that meant - SQL Server 2000's DTS module (an SSIS pre-cursor).
It was free & could run on a standalone local MSSQL db. Wire all kinds of things together & watch it run (w little…
Ok, I kind of went overboard with my #Clojure form-viz mini-experiment - now it's time to scale it back...
But here it is. A form: visualized, traced, color coded, with hover actions for looking inside at sub-form values and across the seq...
"I use to be bullish on the concept of an infinite canvas - but lately I've been feeling like it's the wrong UX direction. My thoughts need edges. Be it tabs or nested sub-flows. I now find tight, drillable packings of information preferable."
Quits (good, safe) job, living off savings, dwindling economy, spends a solid year isolated getting a large & ambitious side-project finished.
What's on the other side? Who knows.
"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
Dilbert meets Minority Report.
Got Gemini 2.5 to replicate Tableau's famous Superstore sample dashboard from scratch - zero human intervention.
35 minutes, 322 events, 3 agents, 6 build/deploy/test iterations, 2 LLM-driven-Playwright-test-drive "tests".
Input: one 8-page…
This kind of thinking should go into the design of all manner of user-space "creation" tools, regardless of domain. Most people only think in terms of magic buttons & "wizard" dialogs. https://t.co/xQ2h40fLin
On this weeks episode of "Visualizing #Clojure forms for the bold and beautiful"...
Now smaller, easier to interact with (wink), & has more in common with the native text form - so beginners should be able to grok it quicker (ideally).
#dataviz all the things!
