vega VS Rath

Hi HN – Excited to share a beta for Minard, a new data visualization toolkit we've been working on that lets you generate publication-quality charts with simple natural language (throw away your matplotlib docs and rejoice!).

Upload or import CSVs, Excel, and JSON, give it a spin, and please let us know what you think! (Long format data works best for now)

For those curious, the stack is a simple Django app with HTMX/Alpine and all of the charts are specified and rendered as Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega/). Lots of LLM function calling under the hood as well.

I recently added support for plotting XGBoost models using Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega/) into the XGBoost Elixir API (https://github.com/acalejos/exgboost).

Since EXGBoost supports loading trained models across different APIs, you can even train using the Python API and then plot using this Elixir API if you prefer.

The Data Source is from devjobsscanner (I am basically the owner, so I have the data) an the tool used to make the chart is Vega

It’s based on Vega https://vega.github.io/vega/ which means it’s an already matured backend. Vega-lite is the Javascript package and Altair is the Python.

Eh, I have no reason to, and not much interest in PHP anymore. Things like Vega seem really cool.

This chart is make with Vega (and also all the charts from the article). Data source is from devjobsscanner and contains about 10 Million dev jobs offers, which only a small subset contain salary information thought.

Not that I'm working on it, but I'd love to see a vega stack in rust.

Big fan of D3.js and now there is Observable Plot! I am building several data visualization software for exploratory data analysis:

RATH, auto exploratory data analysis: https://github.com/Kanaries/Rath

GraphicWalker, embeddable data exploration component: https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker

They are using vega-lite for now. But there is a limit of building more fancy and customized visualizations. It seems Plot has a more flexible layer based visualization system that can support larger design space.

Is Plot stable enough now to migrate from vega-lite based system to Plot based? Are there any large milestone or roadmap of Plot in future?

By gaining knowledge of the Business Intelligence once the information is captured from all areas in the business, you can set strategies and define what are the strengths and weaknesses of the business.

I am also working on an Awesome Open Source project named: RATH. Check it out on GitHub!

I'm considering https://github.com/Kanaries/Rath, which seems to be an OSS version of Tableau. Has anyone used it for this type of thing?

Ah, there’s a really nice profiler implemented in one of their other projects here (AGPLv3): https://github.com/Kanaries/Rath/tree/master/packages/rath-c...

There’s a lot of really nice features in this other tool, the author’s thought of everything: https://github.com/Kanaries/Rath

Don't forget to check out my GitHub project:https://github.com/Kanaries/Rath We are also having a website for RATH now!

RATH is an Open Source Automated Data Analysis and Visualization tool that can help you uncover insights and patterns in your data quickly and efficiently. Check out RATH Source Code on GitHub and Free RATH Playground.
