1. Minor &#x27;typo&#x27;: <i>Mix and match charts types and maps to tell beautiful</i> data <i>with your data.</i><p>2. I&#x27;m not sure what &#x27;story&#x27; means in this context. While it sounds good, it makes me uncertain about what Vizbi is and the landing page doesn&#x27;t really help pin it down. For example &#x27;with or without code&#x27; doesn&#x27;t clarify it.<p>3. Don&#x27;t misunderstand me, I love creative prose and the turn of the phrase. But when I look at a tool, I want to know what it does and why I should care.<p>4. I hit the Vizbi page and the headline is two statements which are not clear about what it does and why I should care. Most of my screen is wasted on a picture of hands and a laptop on a desk: it&#x27;s completely irrelevant to <i>my</i> interests.<p>5. Don&#x27;t misunderstand me, I love graphic design. But here it seems to exist for it&#x27;s own sake. Just tell me about the product.<p>6. Since Vizbi tells stories, tell me the story with Vizbi...this is <i>showing</i> me what it does. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;weblog.raganwald.com&#x2F;2008&#x2F;05&#x2F;show-dont-tell.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;weblog.raganwald.com&#x2F;2008&#x2F;05&#x2F;show-dont-tell.html</a><p>Good luck.

Vizbi is a tool we built recently. It is similar to Mode Analytics&#x2F;Periscope Data, but we are proving two things which we hope will differentiate us<p>1. Multi language support: We have Python 2 and Python 3 to start, but we are planning to add R and Julia 2. We support on premise installs<p>Here are a few storyboards we have built which show what is possible:<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;akshar2&#x2F;bi-skills-and-job" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;akshar2&#x2F;bi-skills-and-job</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;demo_user&#x2F;us-immigration-2015" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;demo_user&#x2F;us-immigration-201...</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;demo_user&#x2F;us-crime-rates" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;demo_user&#x2F;us-crime-rates</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;demo_user&#x2F;us-crime-rates" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vizbi.com&#x2F;#!&#x2F;public&#x2F;demo_user&#x2F;us-crime-rates</a>
