Visualizing Data the Right Way, Recharts + Tailwind Deep Dive
· 3 min read
Overview
Visualizing data isn’t just about plotting numbers—it’s about telling stories that users can grasp at a glance. In this post, I’ll break down how I used Recharts in combination with Tailwind CSS and Mantine to create responsive, branded, and insightful charts for political and historical datasets.
My goal was to make charts that could:
- Compare performance across time (votes, seats, etc.)
- Use party logos as data points
- Display multilingual tooltips
- Work on mobile and large screens without losing meaning
