Plotly is fantastic - great to see another release. Have been using it to integrate charts into Oracle Application Express (APEX), which works really well, and provides for much more interactive data visualizations over the built-in APEX charts.

Icicle chart uses a divergent colormap when it should probably use a sequential one.

Sometimes I wish I never saw that one talk

This is definitely out of date!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-use-plotly-f...

Dash is really the go-to library if you want to build some complex, flexible dashboards. I found for highly customized dashboards it's a lot easier just to program your own instead of squeezing Tableau's rules.

oh that's fantastic. I saw a plotly demo many years ago when you sponsored my local PUG, and while it looked cool, I never gave it a chance because I assumed it was just a web service.

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.
