This visualization monitors StackOverflow for new questions tagged with selected topics like JavaScript, Python, and jQuery. It shows the count and titles of recent questions, playing a sound and displaying a desktop notification when new ones appear. The code uses the StackOverflow API, gzip for compressed responses, pygame for audio, and pynotify for notifications, polling every 60 seconds.

StackOverflow summary data in Vega-lite

This visualization shows the total number of StackOverflow questions per month, broken down by category, using semi-transparent bar marks. The data comes from a CSV summary of 60k StackOverflow questions hosted as a GitHub gist and loaded with `d3.csv`. Built with the `vega-lite-api`, it registers Vega and Vega-Lite, uses a custom config for axis styling, and renders to SVG. Tooltips display question totals via `vega-tooltip`, while bar colors encode the question category.

Stack Overflow - Calendar Heatmap

This example displays the daily number of answered posts on Stack Overflow as a calendar heatmap, using a color scale to represent the intensity of activity across dates. The code is built with D3.js v5, using `scaleLinear` and `scaleBand` to render rectangles within an SVG, and includes date-range pickers via the TheDatepicker and jQuery UI libraries for interactive filtering. The data consists of a sample CSV with date and answer count pairs, which are mapped to the heatmap grid for visualization.

Most popular programming languages on StackOverflow

This animated bar chart illustrates the monthly popularity of programming languages on StackOverflow from 2009 to 2019, with each bar’s length representing a language’s share of all tagged questions. Using D3 and D3FC, the visualization updates every 800 milliseconds, with bars smoothly transitioning in length and position via D3FC’s built-in transition support. Data comes from the StackOverflow Data Explorer query, and the rendering uses D3FC's `seriesSvgBar`, `chartCartesian`, and `extentLinear` components.

Interactive Bar Chat

An interactive bar chart displays the 2018 Stack Overflow popularity ratings for ten programming languages, with each bar labeled by its percentage value. Hovering over a bar highlights it, increases its width, draws a dashed threshold line at that language's value, and reveals each bar's percentage difference relative to the highlighted language. The visualization is built with D3 v5, using `scaleBand` and `scaleLinear` for axes, SVG rects for bars, and transitions triggered by mouseenter and mouseleave events. Data comes from a local `data.js` file, with styling handled by an external stylesheet.

Bar chart with D3.js

This bar chart visualizes the popularity of programming languages using data from Stack Overflow’s 2019 survey. Hovering over a bar highlights it and displays the percentage difference between the hovered language’s value and every other language’s value, with a dashed reference line marking the selected baseline. The visualization uses D3.js v5 with SVG rendering, employing `d3.scaleBand` and `d3.scaleLinear` for axes, and `d3.axisLeft`/`d3.axisBottom` for gridlines and ticks. Interactive transitions via `d3.transition()` animate opacity changes on mouseenter and mouseleave events.

Bar chart with D3.js

A bar chart displays the popularity percentages of programming languages from a Stack Overflow survey, with each bar labeled by its value. Built with D3.js v5, the SVG visualization uses `d3.scaleLinear` for the y-axis, `d3.scaleBand` for categorical x-axis placement, and `d3.axisLeft`/`d3.axisBottom` for ticks. Hovering triggers `transition`-based animations that highlight the current bar and display divergence percentages relative to other values.

monitor threads in python

This example monitors the runtime behavior of threads in a Python application. It periodically displays the number of active threads, along with each thread's name, ID, and current call stack. The visualization uses the `sys._current_frames()` API to capture stack frames and `traceback.extract_stack()` to format them for logging. A daemon thread controls the monitoring loop, printing updates every five seconds using Python's `logging` module.

Bar chart with D3.js

A bar chart displays the popularity of programming languages from Stack Overflow's 2019 survey, with values as percentages. Built with D3.js v5, the SVG visualization renders horizontal axes and animated bars, and includes hover interactions that highlight a selected bar, display a dashed reference line, and compute value divergences against other languages. The chart uses `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.scaleBand` for axis scaling, `d3.axisLeft` and `d3.axisBottom` for ticks, and `d3.selectAll` with transitions to manage mouseenter and mouseleave effects.
