Plot Twist
Plot Twist is a conversational chart-type guide. Tell it about the data and the point you want to make, and it suggests the chart format that fits. No spreadsheet, no drawing, no sign-up. Every good chart starts with a conversation.
What problem does it solve?
Picking the right chart is often the hardest part of making one. Bar or line, grouped or stacked, pie or honestly skip the chart entirely. Plot Twist asks a few questions about the data and the point you want to make, then recommends the chart type that fits both.
How it works
A short conversation. Answer a handful of questions about the shape of your data (categories, series, time, proportions) and what you want the reader to notice. Plot Twist narrows the long list of chart types down to the one that fits, and hands it back as a named recommendation. Everything happens in the browser. Nothing to upload, nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
Whom it’s for
Writers, students, designers, and analysts stuck choosing between a bar chart and a line chart the night before a deadline. Plot Twist decides so you do not have to.
Tech
Static single-page app in vanilla JavaScript, no build step. Tailwind and daisyUI for the interface. The decision tree ships inline so the whole guide runs offline after first load.
