Vizbi is a tool we built recently. It is similar to Mode Analytics/Periscope Data, but we are proving two things which we hope will differentiate us 1. Multi language support: We have Python 2 and Python 3 to start, but we are planning to add R and Julia 2. We support on premise installs Here are a few storyboards we have built which show what is possible: * https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/akshar2/bi-skills-and-job https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/akshar2/bi-skills-and-job * https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/demo_user/us-immigration-2015 https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/demo_user/us-immigration-201... * https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/demo_user/us-crime-rates https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/demo_user/us-crime-rates * https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/demo_user/us-crime-rates https://app.vizbi.com/#!/public/demo_user/us-crime-rates

1. Minor 'typo': Mix and match charts types and maps to tell beautiful data with your data. 2. I'm not sure what 'story' means in this context. While it sounds good, it makes me uncertain about what Vizbi is and the landing page doesn't really help pin it down. For example 'with or without code' doesn't clarify it. 3. Don't misunderstand me, I love creative prose and the turn of the phrase. But when I look at a tool, I want to know what it does and why I should care. 4. I hit the Vizbi page and the headline is two statements which are not clear about what it does and why I should care. Most of my screen is wasted on a picture of hands and a laptop on a desk: it's completely irrelevant to my interests. 5. Don't misunderstand me, I love graphic design. But here it seems to exist for it's own sake. Just tell me about the product. 6. Since Vizbi tells stories, tell me the story with Vizbi...this is showing me what it does. http://weblog.raganwald.com/2008/05/show-dont-tell.html http://weblog.raganwald.com/2008/05/show-dont-tell.html Good luck.
