Deep dives

Building a Data Visualization Platform

VisHub, a platform similar to Kaggle and GitHub, was built to provide a space for collaborative data visualization projects. The platform was inspired by GitHub Jists, where HTML files could be loaded dynamically and displayed with code. VisHub allowed users to save and share their visualizations with others, creating a community hub for data visualization. The goal was to make the process of creating and sharing visualizations easier and more accessible, even for those without programming experience. The platform also incorporated features like real-time collaboration and integration with AI tools to enhance the development process.
