Does anybody love the world map? I can't stop playing with all the coloring schemes to style a world map, and this world map is just released 2 days ago before we launch on PH. So love to share a 2-minutes video for your reference: https://youtu.be/beBXSJhi8dM

Notion has garnered such an impressive community over the years that it only makes sense to help serve them well with native visualizations. Being able to take my database items and create data-driven stories that I can share with any team gives me an extra little superpower. I've personally had debates with people on whether notion is worth using as a database tool because of the lack of visualizations so this is a game changer!

The design of your charts and graphs are amazing. By the way, I know that currently it's not possible but I would love an update someday with which we can create a moving graphical videos/animation using Columns something like this -
Can you think about such an update please?

Any plans to add support for google analytics? Would love to visualise my data on a nice notion dash with graphs like this.

I tried it and I can't stop playing around with the color schemes! Will there be any possibilities to add clickable links or call outs in the project soon? It would be nice to add comments on it for other people's reference. :)
Shawn Cao
@ijchael Thanks JC. yeah, clickable links sound like a good idea, please add a feature request here https://columns.canny.io/ if you can. Regarding "callouts", will annotations/auto labels work for you? They are all available on the right pane next to the graph. For example, here is a call out with the label - https://columns.ai/visual/view/N...
