Graphik: A Tableau-esque Electron App

recording.webm

Description

This app. emulates many of my favorite Tableau features using Electron and Next.js. Tableau is a fantastic tool for building data visualizations, but it's become bloated, slow, and expensive since the Salesforce acquisition. The purpose of this project was to build an alternative app that I could use for high-quality D3 visualizations while learning about:

• Electron
• TypeScript
• JS Visualizations (D3)
• Drag-and-drop UIs (react-beautiful-dnd)
• Color picker widgets (react-colorful)

This app. was mostly built for learning purposes and is not being actively developed.

Quick Start

Note: requires you to install Electron on your machine.
