The magic notebook
for visualization

Dive into your data
Raw data often feels impenetrable, at first. Interactive exploration and visualization is the best way to quickly answer questions and nurture understanding.
Creative freedom
No more unsightly presets and limited build-a-chart wizards. Realize your dream dashboard, report or visualization with notebooks that can do anything the web can do.
A team sport
Fork, edit, comment, suggest and merge — with live code and interactive diffs. Import cells from any notebook, and load nearly any JavaScript library.
