The Data Visualization Tools Database builds off my previous work categorizing and evaluating data visualization tools (see the Data Visualization Tools Comparative Analysis). The goal of the site is to provide a place where users can search for a data visualization tool that will meet their needs by completing a brief survey. Based on their survey responses, the best tool for their use case is recommended to them. New tools can also be added to the site by completing the same survey and providing a few pieces of metadata. The site is a full-stack app built on a Node.js back-end with Express for routing.
