Vizuly was founded in 2016 by Thomas Gonzalez, an award winning data visualization designer, developer, and public speaker. After spending 15 years designing and developing specialized data visualization solutions for hundreds of clients, Mr. Gonzalez saw a better way to make reusable JavaScript based data visualization components. Combining the powerful D3.js library with a lightweight and expressive reusable component API Mr. Gonzalez created Vizuly. The goal in creating Vizuly was to make a data visualization library that was both approachable by novice developers while also providing an unrestricted and flexible API that allows for developers to create highly customized and advanced solutions. Since its release in 2016, Vizuly has been downloaded by thousands of users and is in use at Fortune 500 and start up companies alike.
