I came across another one a while back I wish I had bookmarked, it was old style html just from a greybeard dataviz expert, and it was basically an exhaustive description of what to use in what situations, and it was chock full of advice that was both counterintuitive and obvious in hindsight... what was great about it is it focused on the data type first, and only recommended the viz styles at the end.

- davnn 2y agoMaybe you refer to [1]? These are the two options I like to show students who first get in touch with data visualization. [1] https://www.data-to-viz.com/ https://www.data-to-viz.com/ Note: In the about page, they provide an extensive list of historical chart classification schemes :).

- tunesmith 2y agoThis one isn't it, but it's quite good and fits the description. Thanks.
- xtiansimon 2y ago“greybeard dataviz expert” Is this a reference to age alone, or some particular attitude or propensity for outdated methods? Or is this description for wizards?
- arrosenberg 2y agoNot sure about the website, but the guy was probably Edward Tufte from the description. He and Stephen Few were kind of the OGs of data visualization for the modern era. https://www.edwardtufte.com/ https://www.edwardtufte.com/
