Behind the charts

Every chart on this site is made with our own system

FactsFigs isn't published on WordPress or a chart embed service. It runs on a publishing system we built ourselves, because nothing available did the whole job: make the chart, write the piece, and publish it as one thing.

We're considering opening it to other people. If that sounds useful, leave your email and we'll tell you when there's something to try — no newsletter, no marketing sequence.

53 chart types

Bar, line, scatter, treemap, sankey, chord, sunburst, choropleth, force-directed and forty-odd more — each with its own editor, not a generic config form.

Charts and article in one place

Most chart tools hand you an embed to paste somewhere else. Here the chart, the writing, the layout and the SEO are the same document.

A visual editor

Position, colour, scales, annotations and labels are edited on the chart itself, then saved with the post.

Built for data stories

Nineteen content blocks made for this kind of writing: comparison tables, key takeaways, timelines, stat rows, source attribution.

What it looks like

These are the screens the articles on this site are made in.

The chart editor: a palette of chart types on the left, and a horizontal stacked bar chart of LLM pricing on the editing stage
The chart editor. Every chart type on the left, the stage in the middle, and layers, data, text and background as separate panels. The chart is edited on the canvas, at whatever zoom you are working at.
The post editor showing a visual frame block containing the LLM pricing chart, with controls to reorder it or open the visual editor
Posts are built from blocks. A chart is its own document, and the post points at it. Reorder, open the underlying data, or jump into the visual editor without leaving the article.
An editorial block with the phrases GPT-5.5 at $35 and 83x spread highlighted inside the paragraph
Writing, with the numbers marked. Pick the figures that carry the argument and they are highlighted in the prose. Rewrite is there when a paragraph is not landing.
A stats component block showing four coloured pricing cards, each with its own background and text colour controls
Nineteen block types. Stat cards, comparison tables, key takeaways, timelines, source attribution — the shapes data writing actually needs, each editable in place.
