  1. A note on visualisation. For no good reason a majority of visualisation tools cannot handle categorical dimensions. Probably they can't be bothered with explicitly having to specify an order of the visualisation dimension. This is only one of the reasons we found tools like Excel fast, but too limited to be useful. Programmable tools like ggplot or bokeh are more powerful, but iterations take too long to visualise and that slows down the exploration process. We've found #RAWgraphs a great solution for two reasons. First, it allows categorical dimensions in the charts we used, and second, it allows SVG export for post-processing. So shout out to rawgraphs.io/

  2. A new version #RAWGraphs has just been released. It includes support for custom charts and chord diagrams. rawgraphs.io/post/rawgraphs-up
