Introducing Chartmoji

Jeremy Kelley, Jan 2020

A picture says so much. And if you can embed that picture into text but it manages to convey some numerical value in an intuitive way, even better!

Chartmoji are small embedded charts that can be used inline with slack (and other tools) to communicate a series of values in a visual way. Here at threat|simple, we deal with a LOT of data. And sometimes, you just want to see a trend of some data. These are basically an emojified version of Tufte's sparklines.

Hit up the project page for more information about them. There's also a little tool bundled with the project that can help you loads the hundreds of new emoji into your slack environment.

We'd love to hear how you're using these, so let us know!

Here's the project link if you want to skip the boring parts: chartmoji on github
