Plots: A Data Story Magazine
/ vivek / 2024-10-28
Today we're launching Plots, a data story blog (which one day might become a magazine, fingers crossed!). I started working on data stories ~10 years ago - as side projects, often to answer questions I had about interesting datasets. I briefly managed the popular dataviz blog numbersofindia.com. Numbers of India had stories about population, pollution, women in parliament and India's food habits. I discontinued working on it ~4 years ago.

But life, as it usually does, has come a full circle. MinusX makes it faster than ever before to explore data (in Jupyter or even in Sheets), analyze complex questions and create beautiful visualizations. Now that we're building and using MinusX all the time, we're thrilled at how many of our own questions we can answer. Plots is where our curiosity about the world meets MinusX. We plan to cover stories about the sports, politics, science and society. Initially these will be static stories. We will soon release notebooks/sheets that power the analyses, and make the stories interactive. Plots will unfold, one at a time.
Check out our first data story: "Who is the Clutch-est NBA player of all time?". Subscribe above to get the next one in your inbox! Also let me know what other NBA analysis or Plot you want to see! I'd love story requests!
