And Now for Something Completely Different

Your choices for visualizing and communicating data are a bit of a mixed blessing:

  • There are low-code ways to build interactive analytical apps. For example, R Shiny is great if you're a data scientist who loves R — but not so good if you’re non-technical.

  • You can use no-code tools to create beautiful visualizations. I'm impressed with Flourish's beautiful collection of embeddable visualizations — but stand-alone visualizations are limiting.

  • If you work at a big company, you already have an enterprise license to a PowerBI, Qlik, or Tableau, each of which promises a vast collection of features and visualization options. You’ll also need vast amounts of training, time, and willpower to deliver something that doesn’t feel like yet-another dashboard.

Meanwhile, The New York Times visualization group, 538.com, The Guardian, and numerous visualization practitioners (e.g. Moritz Stefaner) set a high bar for data storytelling. Their hand-crafted magic is an inspiration for communicating data to influence people.

What if there was a technology solution that combines the best of those solutions in one sweet package? That's the challenge we've set for ourselves. It is Juicebox™.

  • Interactive data stories that go miles beyond traditional blah dashboards and reports;

  • Lightweight authoring so you don't need to be a coder to create;

  • Web-first technology so it is easy to customize, layout, embed, and integrate;

  • Enterprise-ready when you're ready -- all the integrations, scaling, and security you're IT department demands.

Here’s what it looks like to build your first Juicebox web application:
