What’s new?

We are shipping a brand new chart editor experience and a brand new chart type.

  1. Redesigned chart editor

    The chart editor has been completely redesigned to be more intuitive and user-friendly.

  2. Removed the Dedupe Node

    The Dedupe Node has been removed and replaced with a checkbox within the Datasource Node.

  3. New node: Limit Node

    The Limit Node is a new node that allows you to limit the number of rows in a chart.

  4. New chart type: Scatter Plot

    The Scatter Plot is a new chart type that allows you to visualize the relationship between two variables.

  5. Embedded Charts are now SVG-based

    Making the embeds SVG-based makes them higher quality and more responsive.

  6. Heatmap Chart is now less cursed

    The Heatmap Chart is now less cursed: it uses a more consistent color palette and the legend is more readable.

Chart Editor

The chart editor has been redesigned to be more intuitive and user-friendly. Nodes are now bigger, have more text and tooltips for describing what they do.

Between two connected nodes, there is now a plus icon that allows you to insert a new node without the need to get one from the sidebar. This allows you to build your chart while looking at the preview.

Why did we remove the Dedupe Node?

Most charts require data deduplication.
We have decided to remove the standalone Dedupe Node and replace it with a checkbox within the Datasource Node. Because this is a common requirement, we have made it the default setting, which was not possible with the previous node-based approach.

New node: Limit Node

The Limit Node is a new feature that allows you to restrict the number of unique rows displayed in a chart. You can also choose to group any rows exceeding the limit into an “Other” category. If the chart type supports nesting, these “Other” rows will be grouped under the “Other” field.

Embedded Charts are now SVG-based

Making the embeds SVG-based makes them higher quality and more responsive. Before they were PNG-based, which made them look blurry and pixelated at small sizes.
