VizHub version 2 is the product currently deployed at https://vizhub.com. Source code for this is located in the vizhub-v2 directory. This codebase will remain deployed for some time with maintenance fixes from time to time, but active development energy is going towards VizHub 3.

VizHub 2 Features

VizHub has enough features to be useful for people who teach data visualization with D3 and React. It has been used in Data Visualization Course 2018, Datavis 2020, and [Get it Right in Black and White](

Goals:

  • Self-hosting - It should be possible to self-host your own instance using 100% open source code.
  • Extensibility - It should be possible to extend the core with plugins that add features.
  • Mobile UX - It should be possible to develop interactive visual software on a smartphone.
  • Internationalization - The interface should be in your local language, for the global VizHub audience.
  • Accessibility - The UI should be accessible, fully navigable by keyboard and screen reader.

Prototypes

This repository houses an archive of prototypes as a reference to draw from for VizHub 3 development.

  • prototypes/open-core-first-attempt - An attempt at a modular architecture. Notable features here include: Server rendering, Proper ShareDB hydration, and Markdown rendering in a Web worker
  • prototypes/vizhub-v3-false-start - An earlier false start at a VizHub rewrite. Notable features here include: Working PWA setup, new viz preview design, new home page design.
  • prototypes/vizhub-v2-false-start - An ancient effort. Notable features here include: CodeMirror 6 integration, dynamic code editor theming, fonts with ligatures.
