OP here: I created this visualization tool as the byproduct of a supply chain class I taught at Columbia. The pedagogical exercise grew into a full blown visualization and paper about global oil trade. The model: The mechanics are the same as the financial network Eisenberg-Noe: Instead of banks, every country consumes oil interconnected via bilateral trading. Shocks propagate throughout the network, depleting oil reserves when bottleneck nodes (such as the Strait of Hormuz) are blocked. Insights: The interesting part is the mechanics of how the crisis unfolds: for example, France receives 0…

Hi HN! I’m Alex from Parabola (https://parabola.io). Parabola is a visual programming tool for creating functional data flows that everyone can use. It’s entirely drag-and-drop, handles data sizes much larger than a traditional spreadsheet, calculates everything live, and can run your flows on a schedule of your choosing. I used to work in strategy consulting, doing data analytics for SMBs and Fortune 500 companies. The amount of time wasted on menial tasks was astounding. Things like cleaning data, generating custom reports, creating human workflows to solve shortcomings in third…

Hello HN, It has been a while since I contributed to the web, so I decided to get back in shape and publish "something". This app is a POC of "what if diagrams were more dynamic". I'm a software engineer by trade, and with conventional tools, I often times struggle to explain flows of data in complex software systems. I got inspired by video games like The Incredible Machine and Factorio, as in some ways, software systems tend to become Rube Goldberg-esque machines ;) As a side quest, I also wanted to craft diagrams faster than text-based tools (ex: mermaid), as I am always forgetting their…

Hi HN, excited to share the project I have been working on for the past two years. Marple was created by engineers for engineers. Marple helps them organize and analyze their sensor data in a more user-friendly way. We’ve all been there: measurement data from an experiment or test needs to be analyzed but the only thing you have is a few data files flying around. You do not have a clue how to open or read the data. So what you do next is open your Python/Matlab/Jupyter Notebook/… and start coding in order to make some sense of the data. We didn’t like that process, so we…

Hello, I wanted to share with you all a interactive map of the economics and physics constraints of the AI buildout. It has macro drivers, industrial chokepoints, and where that shows up in markets. I've added 393 nodes and 562 edges to capture other supply / physics constraints as well. There's no sign up, and no pay wall, it's all free. Please let me know what you think!

Hi HN – Excited to share a beta for Minard, a new data visualization toolkit we've been working on that lets you generate publication-quality charts with simple natural language (throw away your matplotlib docs and rejoice!). Upload or import CSVs, Excel, and JSON, give it a spin, and please let us know what you think! (Long format data works best for now) For those curious, the stack is a simple Django app with HTMX/Alpine and all of the charts are specified and rendered as Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega/). Lots of LLM function calling under the hood as well.

Hi HN, We're a small team working on a new dataviz engine and its applications. We built our charting engine in C++ and run it on WebAssembly. Two years ago, we launched Vizzu as an open-source animated data visualization library aimed at JS developers, allowing users to create dynamic charts. We also released a Python wrapper under the name ipyvizzu for data scientists. Since then, we've been working hard to make this technology accessible to everyone, regardless of their coding skills. Today, we're proud to introduce our no-code storytelling tool. With this tool, anyone can turn their…
