through the visualization literacy working group, an extensive discussion of end-user development models & overlap with computational thinking. the two design axes alone are worth the price of admission:: • component-based / rule-based / programming-by-demonstration • direct manipulation / conversational interface https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4129683

experiment: I uploaded the EUDability paper to google's notebookLM and generated an audio (sounds like a podcast to me). I'm going to listen to it on my morning walk tomorrow morning. https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/c8ef3a30-2dc6-4224-a623-9f0c32c70010/audio

These two figures are fantastic.

Learnable and Expressive Visualization Authoring Through Blended Interfaces L'Yi et al. 2024 https://osf.io/preprints/osf/pjcn4

we explore the design space of blending multiple visualization authoring interfaces for supporting authoring tasks in a complementary and flexible manner. To evaluate the effectiveness of blending interfaces, we implemented a proof-of-concept system, Blace, that combines four common visualization authoring interfaces—template-based, shelf configuration, natural language, and code editor—that are tightly linked to one another to help users easily relate unfamiliar interfaces to more familiar ones. Using the system, we conducted a user study with 12 domain experts who regularly visualize genomics data as part of their analysis workflow.
