And Mike Bostock, and the rest of the team!
I am still sad that fivethirtyeight got swallowed by NYT. fivethirtyeight has a much better reputation in my mind, I would have loved to see it grow into its own powerhouse.
- nthitz 14y agoLooks like most of the graphics on 538 are using <canvas> which makes me think they weren't made with d3. So that's rather curious for me.
- ssharp 14y agoMaybe they would have done better on their own, but I was much happier to see them get swallowed by the NYT rather than a site like the Huffington Post, where the association would lose them much more goodwill. The things that annoy me with the NYT are the monthly article limit that I have to workaround and how painfully slow 538 is on my iPhone.
- FreeKill 14y agoYeah, it's such a terrible limitation too when all you need to do is remove the variable, and it goes back to normal. I wonder how many customers that inconvenience actually gets for the NYT?
- ryanwaggoner 14y agoCan't tell if you're being sarcastic or not... Regardless, they've landed more than 500k digital subscribers in the past 18 months. I'm sure there are a number of things at play here (bundling home delivery and digital, including app subs in these numbers, etc), but that's still pretty impressive.
