This week, my tool plotiq.app crossed 1,000 active users.

A month ago, it was just something I built for myself because I was tired of manually turning CSV data into charts for projects and analysis.

Most tools I tried felt either too complex or too slow for something that should be simple.

So I built a small tool that:

-Takes a CSV file

-Instantly generates clean charts

-Requires no setup or learning curve

It’s still very early, but students, researchers, and developers started using it and giving feedback.

​A set of interactive visualizations was generated using plotiq.app, based on the BBVA Research geopolitical tensions dataset.

​The graphs illustrate bilateral tension dynamics over time for:

​🇺🇸 United States – Iran 🇮🇱 Israel – Iran

​The BBVA dataset tracks geopolitical tension signals derived from large-scale media and news data, reflecting how international relations evolve in public discourse over time.

​Key observations from the visualizations:

​US–Iran tensions show long cyclical phases of escalation and de-escalation

​Israel–Iran tensions display sharper and more frequent spikes

​Major global events are clearly reflected as visible peaks in tension levels

​Both relationships highlight how quickly geopolitical sentiment shifts in response to global developments
