Just over a year ago, we launched Voronoi, our free new data discovery app.
Believe it or not, there are already more data-driven visuals on Voronoi than on Visual Capitalist (which has been around for 13 years!).
Every day there’s something new on Voronoi to see. And in aggregate, there are roughly 5,000 data stories to explore on the platform from 165+ world-class creators.

A fiery debate unfolded in the comments on this post by Visual Capitalist, which compares emissions from major global economies.
With China accounting for nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2023, users hotly debated the fairness of judging countries on total versus per capita emissions. Others weighed in on the burden developing countries face as they grow without cheap fossil fuels.
The chart also spotlights how wealthy nations, like the U.S., outsource emissions via trade, while resource-rich countries like Saudi Arabia, Canada, and Australia emit more than expected given their population size.
