flourish.studio
A browser-based data visualization and storytelling tool with animated charts, interactive maps, and embeddable graphics for non-programmers.
Why it is useful
Offers animated and interactive chart templates that would take significant D3.js work to produce manually, all through a drag-and-drop interface. The free tier allows unlimited public projects, which is sufficient for most journalism and presentation use cases. The racing bar chart and election map templates in particular are used extensively by newsrooms globally.
