Hi everyone,
It’s been a busy few months here at Flourish, so we’ve got all kinds of things to catch you up on!
Introducing bubble charts
We’re often asked for simple yet effective ways to visualize groups of people, objects or events. Enter the Bubble Chart template. With the flexibility of sizing by values, coloring by categories, adding images and labels, and even plotting on an axis, this template is worth trying out.
Masters series: John Snow’s cholera map
We couldn’t have a series about pioneers of data visualization without mentioning John Snow and his cholera map. Find out how to recreate this famous visualization with the added feature of 3D extrusion in our latest Masters post.

The rise of Wordle – visualized
If like all of us at Flourish you’ve been obsessing over keeping your Wordle streak going, check our our latest blog post about the rise of this viral word game.
Winter Olympics
As athletes were busy skating, curling, skiing and bobsleighng their way around Beijing, we took a look at some inventive ways of visualizing the Winter Olympics.
New feature: Search the settings panel
In the visualization editor, there’s now a search feature at the bottom of the settings panel to help you find the settings you’re looking for. Additionally, only one settings block will open at a time for easier navigation between customization options.
