Hi everyone,
Amid record temperatures in London this week, we’ve been busy adding new features to Flourish and are excited to share the following updates…
Chartmaking just got easier with automatic column selection
Our new data identification feature – which we like to call data magic – makes the visualization process quicker and more intuitive by mapping columns of data to different aspects of a visualization automatically. This marks a major milestone in our goal to make the data visualization process easier for everyone.

It’s about time: introducing interactive timelines
Anything good is worth waiting for and boy, is our new premium Timeline template good! It allows you to visualize chronological events interactively, add images and links, change the layout for desktop and mobile and much more.

(Spoiler: They can if you’re Novak Djokovic).
