My Favorite Data Visualization and Dataset Resources

I wanted to put together a quick list of my favorite datasets and visualization resources! When I'm looking for a sample project, I use these for inspiration. I also use them for teaching! Thought they could be helpful for someone else too.

Visualizations

Data Sets

I asked about new ones on twitter a while ago, and got some of these from there! I linked the Tweet if you're interested in seeing more!

A while back I stumbled upon Sheetsee.js which allows you to connect Google Sheets to a website and use the data in there for Visualization.

Link: jlord.us/sheetsee.js/

It worked pretty well with D3.js

Thanks @aspittel !

Another great source of datasets and visualizations is the weekly Tidy Tuesday challenge by R for Data Science.

Read more at github.com/rfordatascience/tidytue... and browse past visualizations at tidytuesday.rocks.

Happy plotting!
