DataBods draws each person, purchase, visit, ship or bus as its own dot, and moves them all as you ask new questions. Charts, maps, journeys and time, in one place, with stories that present themselves.
Runs in your browser. Nothing to install, and your data never leaves your machine.
Every example opens live in the app. Click a bar, change the question, press play: the dots move.
Every respondent is a dot. Split by any question, rate scales either side of zero, and test subgroups for significance.

People, orders, products and stores: DataBods finds the links between tables and lets you move between levels.
Web server logs become pages, visits and journeys. Any table with dates can play over time.
Open timetables (GTFS), GPS and position tracks, and maps from coordinates, outlines or your own floor plan.
Everything you do is recorded as you click. Turn it into a story and it presents itself.
Each change becomes a step. Add titles, text and timing, then play it back with the dots flying between charts.
Steps wait for your click, with the question and base under each chart and the controls one tap away.
Sync steps to an audio track, or let your audience choose where the story goes next.
