If you work at a charting tool, you create some charts. In November 2017, I started to blog for Datawrapper. Since then we’ve been posting a Weekly Chart in which one of us (or a guest author) explain chart design tricks. Here are some of the best charts I created in 2018 for and at Datawrapper. Most of them show the underlying data when you hover over the data points.
