I started a tumblr to showcase and categorize various data visualizations in QS apps (like a pttrns.com for designers), with an emphasis on beautiful design:
I’d love to get feedback on:
tools to showcase
tags to organize on the site
anything else!
Also, I’d love to have some contributors. If you have screenshots of a QS app you’d like to share, please email me at chloe@chloefan.com The screenshots will be posted anonymously, unless your name/photo is already in the screenshot.
Pinterest doesn’t allow for tagging and sorting. I can make a board for all of the data viz for a specific type, but there isn’t a way to label one image by tool, data viz, type, etc. With Tumblr, I can upload a Fitbit screenshot, tag it #fitbit#bargraph#daysummary or whatever, and then sort the blog by those tags.
I really like this, what a great resource! Thanks Chloe for starting it. Ernesto and I have been collecting some neat visualizations, too. I’ll share them via email.
hi Chloe,
It is great! I appreciate the time and love put into aggregating these images. I hate how pinterest doesn’t allow for any tagging and sorting of display - but tumblr here isn’t doing much better, dare i say it’s even worse for a browser of the site because we have to paginate through the images…whereas on pitnerest we’d get the everscrolling. perhaps just a standard wordpress blog, where you tag the images as posts, and insert an actual menu - then you would achieve the sorting for a guest user.
I had infinite scrolling before, but it slowed down the site. Wordpress might be a better idea; I’ll keep that in mind when I have time to update the site!
