Dataviz Flashcards!

I’m so excited: this week I finally shipped my latest dataviz project, the dataviz caveat flashcards!

It’s a set of 61 flashcards, each describing a common mistake people make when building charts.

After years of helping people create better visuals, I realized the same problems come up over and over again. So now there’s one organized list, with a simple visual for each.

Pretty obvious. Yet always forgotten...

What’s next

I’ll keep growing the list. If you have an idea for a new card, just drop me an email!

I’m also working on an AI integration: you’ll be able to give a chart to an AI, have it check it against every card, and get a list of potential issues. I’ll start with a Skill, then probably build a small web app on top. Stay tuned!

Let me know what you think?

Best,
Yan

PS: Share them with a friend who makes terrible charts 😄
