I’m feeling a bit sheepish looking at everyone’s Dash apps and then submitting a simple plotly figure. I took this weeks challenge as an opportunity to learn how to construct Sankey diagrams in Plotly. After crunching through some data clean-up I decided that looking at continent to continent flows would be the simplest. So, here it is with the flows normalized by the continent’s population in 2025. I’ve used the hovertemplate feature to give information about the links.
I might bash together a Dash app that allows some options in how the plot is made and that burps out some descriptive statistics.
Nice work everyone. If I’m being honest with myself, I’ve put about 6 hours into this. About half of that in cleaning up the data and another half learning to make a Sankey diagram. I’m curious to know if my slowness at this is because I haven’t been using an LLM to help. How much do you rely on AI and what do you use it for? Framing out the dash app? Developing figures? All of the above?
