Hello all,
Only two days of birthday announcements remaining, and today's a pretty
cool one :)
We integrated the *graph builder tool into the query service*. It's a
lightweight tableau-style interface for visual analysis, built on Vega-lite
<http://vega.github.io/polestar/>, that's allows you to create and
personalize your graph, based on the query results. Once it's done, you can
also integrate it in Wikidata or Wikipedia, using the graph extension
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph>!
For now, the tool encounter some problems in Firefox, but works well with
Chrome or Chromium. We'll try to fix is as soon as possible. Thanks a lot
to Jonas and Smalyshev for your work!
Check out the demo video

to see how it works, and try it with your favorite query ;)
The story of the day has been shared by Denny. *Everything starts when you
click on the "random item" link
