The Engaging Data Manifesto advocates for using data visualization and beautiful graphics to tell stories with data and enable discovery. It encourages making data human and avoiding big numbers that can break our brains, suggesting using visual tools like Visual.ly, Tableau Public, and FlowingData to allow anyone to create their own data visualizations and share stories from their data.
