How the project started
Andrey Kolomatskiy
creator of DataDrops
I work with data and love visualization: charts, maps, infographics. For years interesting works piled up in my bookmarks, reposts and random links, and finding the right one later was almost impossible.
My own works had no home either: GitHub is not made for images, and social networks bury posts within a day. I wanted a service built specifically for data visualization, something like Pinterest for analysts.
I started building DataDrops on evenings and weekends in April 2025 and opened it to everyone on September 1. The project is completely free. And if you have ideas or suggestions, I will be glad to hear them, write to me!
