My latest viz on @tableaupublic.bsky.social looks at the continuing impact of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. Do we need a reboot? public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

I was frustrated by my inbox. I read a study, and another, and another. Then I built a viz that looked like my inbox - a bit too much like my inbox! But now, finally, it's finished! Check it out #datafam public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

In case you missed it in the end-of-year blur, Ludo Koelman joined us with an unfinished viz focused on music theory. Expect playful exploration, creative tangents, and lots of “what if we tried this?” Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V81T... #UnfinishedVizness #TableauPublic #DataFam

Images can really lift a viz, but make sure you have rights to use rhem

I think this is my number one finding from last Iron Viz. Lack of sleep is definitely a disadvantage.

Ever decided to resize a dashboard full of floating elements? And have you ever correctly predicted the required dashboard length of your Iron Viz entry? Be kind to yourselves and find ways to minimise the pain!

Heather Cox @heather-cox.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

I've definitely been guilty of going back for more data, right up until the deadline! I'm hoping to avoid that this time.

A dataset with potential. A design half-formed. A filter that broke everything. Unfinished Vizness is for the vizzes that got stuck along the way. youtu.be/1sV6wNFU_ok

Sounds like...

@UnfinishedVizness coming soon - your all axis pass to the vizzes that didn't make it...yet.

Heather Cox @heather-cox.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

What do you do when a viz gets stuck, #datafam friends? #UnfinishedVizness is digging into the messy middle of the creative process to show that everyone gets stuck and that troubleshooting is a skill which can also be a team sport.

Heather Cox @heather-cox.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Looking forward to bringing this to the #datafam

Ever start a viz that felt promising… until it didn’t? Or hit a wall you couldn’t quite explain? We’ve been there. We’re building something for that. Unfinished Vizness — coming soon. youtu.be/6AVQ7VOuM2E

I got to re-visit my presentation from VizIt Sydney for the Team DataFam TUG this morning. Check out the recording on YouTube. #ReVizIt (I didn't mean to get punny, it just happened, I swear! 🤣)

#Tableau Ambassador nominations are open until July 25th, and I asked #Suno to generate a song to encourage the #datafam to get involved. So here is: #AmbassItOn ! suno.com/s/pi6v9tG8rG...

#VizItSyd was an amazing experience once again. I am incredibly grateful to all of the #datafam for your support, encouragement, feedback, questions, energy, enthusiasm, body guard services, humour, creativity, wisdom and heart. Can't wait to do it all again soon.

If you like puzzles, I recommend trying @jacro28.bsky.social's new viz. And if you don't like puzzles...look, try it anyway. I liked it. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

I'm really pleased with how this new viz turned out, diving into the diagnosis journey for autistic adults. I couldn't have done it without Ken Flerlage's Curved Timeline template! public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

Did anyone else in the #datafam suffer from #VizFatigue after building their #IronViz entry? I found logs of my time during October, so I dug into the data, and you can now check out my new viz public.tableau.com/views/IronVi...
