Hi all, quick one. Clues is a data viz tool for non-coders: people who have a CSV and questions but won’t touch code. It’s a single HTML file, all client-side, so nothing leaves the browser.
I’m sharing it here because it does a few things a one-off chart can’t: every chart is a reproducible spec (same input, same figure, every time), you can sign a dataset for an auditable trail, a whole session is shareable as one self-contained HTML file, and it can hand an AI assistant a Plotly-aware brief and import a JSON view spec back, so the AI proposes and the app draws deterministically.

It’s built entirely on Plotly.js, which does all the rendering. Free and open source.
My bad… I was playing with some updates for a presentation mode that hides the left side panel. You can toggle it on with the icon on the upper left.
The demo of the Palmer Penguins shows a few of your chart types. All thee demos were built using the UI controls. But the App “provides its methods and the current datasets and graphs” via the clipboard that you can paste in an LLM as is. See section 12 of the user guide: clues/USER_GUIDE.md at main · clues-app/clues · GitHub
On a computer: download clues.html and you are good to go with the preloaded showcase dataset of the Palmer penguins. On a mobile device , you can only display a presentation that was exported (a “.clue” file)
Please let me know if any issues and of course, any feedback. Thank you for your awesome library!
