The ultimate tool collection for data nerds

Hi fellow data nerds!

I haven't updated this page in a while - sorry about that. But, I've got some gooood news to share. Together with Dutch journalism college Hogeschool Utrecht I've published a new website with datajournalism tools. And you know what? It's right here on the interwebs, waiting for your visit...

Just in case you don't want to miss out on other online data journalism favorites of mine, you can subscribe to my Data Journalism Newsletter. It's free, no spam (that's a promise), and contains what I consider the best of the web for data journalists. What else could you wish for?

Keep on wrangling data!

Best,

Winny
