Apache ECharts

I've been meaning to practice some data visualization tasks... If anybody knows any cool datasets they'd recommend that aren't your run of the mill kaggle consumer data or whatever. I'm particularly interested in bioinformatics/genetics data but not really sure of where to look (and have almost no background, just personally interested in comp-bio).. If anyone could recommend cool and open esoteric data/possible projects, that would be awesome.

The line race looks so cool.

Toggle the switches to trigger the race. By the way, well done Norway.

Looks like it could work nicely with HTMX.

Funny seeing this here with your comment, as I was exploring using ECharts for a project recently to work exactly with HTMX from a Clojure backend. I eventually settled on Chart.js as I found that for my use case, I wanted the charts to more easily fit their dynamically sized container, which isn’t quite as simple with ECharts and Vega. I also didn't need particularly complex plots. Nevertheless, this is a nice project! There remain some open challenges with web-based visualisation libraries more generally around responsive design and accessibility, but we’ve come a long way.

In a quick web demo, this library was the only one that could handle interactive viewing and manipulation of a very large graph using its GraphGL component ! I don’t think it's a well-known visualization library, but it's quite interesting ...

I'd really like to know how they did all the transition effects. They were really cool.
