I tried to quantify some of these smallness vs expressivity tradeoffs in visualization libraries here, with some interesting conclusions IMO: https://notascope.io

It's a good question! I think I'd look at this through the lens of the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations, specifically the dimensions of 'consistency' and 'viscosity' (i.e. is the …

This isn't literature per se but I worked on a machine-learning database system (MLDB) which supported tables with millions of columns... We extended SQL's SELECT statement with so…

Author here... it pretty much is fanboi stuff, yes :) And sure, there are flaws in Apple's naming scheme as well as things I love.

I like it! Do the positions of the teams in the squares mean anything? It might be nice to have the teams laid out with two on top (rotated 45 degrees) with the top two being the c…

We've got a number of solutions in Python that rival Shiny IMO: Dash, Voilà, Panel, Streamlit, new stuff like Mercury etc :) There's a neat overview of the landscape here https://w…

What are your thoughts on PlotlyJS.jl? https://plotly.com/julia/

Plotly Express author here: yes, seems very similar! I approve! I've been toying with the idea of building what I had been calling "Vega Express" for a while, but now it looks like…

Dash (by Plotly) doesn't "convert" Python scripts, no, it works in a similar way to Lona: there is a Javascript frontend that communicates with the Python backend and the Python fu…

Dash also can be hosted on local infrastructure and in fact does no "translation", it's also using a complex Javascript front-end that abstracts away the HTTP conversation from the…

Try it and see :)

Should be easy to try! My expectation is that the TSP approach would recover the original image unless you added a lot of noise to it. Adjacent rows will still end up extremely sim…

Ouch. That definitely doesn't happen any more since v4 came out two years ago.

They already are! Features land in Plotly.js first before being integrated into Plotly.py :)

I'd love to hear more about what you found fussy in terms of shape of data... I've worked really hard to make Plotly Express as flexible as possible in terms of input formats ( htt…

Plotly.py is MIT-licensed and totally free for anyone for any purpose :)

Many years ago, indeed it was, but now you can use it and rest easy that your data isn't transiting through our servers unless you install the chart_studio module as well.

This is definitely out of date! As of version 4.0, released two years ago, Plotly is "offline/local by default". Check out our docs: https://plotly.com/python/is-plotly-free/#can-i…

In this case it's intentional: highlighting divergence from the global average :)
