Are there any data viz community projects with Plotly/Dash?

Do you guys know MakeOverMonday? It’s a community project where each week a data set and data viz are being published and everyone who likes to participate has one week to publish an improved data visualisation / dashboard with any chosen tool.

I’ve just recently participated in the last challenge using Vizro and Plotly.

MoM_Week13

Most of the submissions there are done via Tableau. What I’ve been observing with the Tableau community is that everyone has been sharing their techniques on how to create certain charts and I’ve seen visualisation that I didn’t even think would be possible with Tableau.

I would love to do the same using Plotly/Dash, so I was wondering if there are any other data viz community projects similar to MakeOverMonday where Plotly/Dash is commonly used? I think it would be really cool to see how other people create custom charts/dashboards.

Where do you guys share your data visualisations / dashboards done via Plotly/Dash? :star:

HI @li.nguyen
Thanks for sharing about the MakeOverMonday initiative. I’ve heard about it and liked the idea.

I’ve actually been considering something similar with Plotly Dash. For now, we have the bi-monthly app-building challenges, and people share their apps and visualizations on the show-and-tell tag. But it would be nice to have something more organized. I just DM’d you.

Workout Wednesday is another community project. This project also comes from Tableau community, but it includes Power BI, CRM Analytics and Sigma, too. The difference from MakeoverMonday is that, instead of improving datsvis, this project focuses on re-creation of the datavis. So it’s a good start to improve our plotly skills by recreating the datavis as similarly as possible to the original one by using plotly.

I’m taking part in the Workout Wednesday challenge by using plotly and streamlit, which can make me more familiar with plotly. These is my streamlit app that hosts all my practices.

Very nice usage of Plotly, @chenyulue

Workout Wednesday is an interesting initiative, but we area leaning towards Makeover Mondays because of it’s simplicity and diversity of data sets. I will continue exploring Workout Wednesday because we might be able to use a few data sets from there as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey @chenyulue,

Thanks for sharing. It’s great to know that there are also other Plotly wizards who participate in data viz challenges! I just looked through your app, and it looks amazing—I love all your examples! :star2:

That’s exactly what I would love to see more often - sharing Plotly code and data visualisation best practices along the way. If I had found your app earlier, it would probably have saved me lots of time creating some of these fantastic visuals!

I am planning to build something similar using Plotly and Vizro but haven’t come around on adding more examples yet. But your app just gave me an additional motivation boost! :smile:

@adamschroeder - that’s great to hear! Can’t wait to participate :smile:

I look forward to seeing what you build @li.nguyen

I’ll reach out again in June to share an update on our MakeoverMonday initiative.
