Testing the freshly-released Live Artifacts by #Claude to create persistent live dashboards inside Claude Cowork
Crazy how it is easy to create a UI to query data through a visual canvas.
Another signal for a future with BI-as-code friendly data viz softwares.

Woah! It's like they wrote this specifically so people would quit before it makes any sense, except for the IP chapter, which is clearly just a "treat yourself" moment, it is encrypted, it is fine.
Must read in the morning.
Embarking on a long find-and-replace journey now that I've mapped out the action plan.
A lot of steps involved because the digital ecosystem has become quite distributed.
I'll be chipping away at it gradually, as it’s pretty tedious and I don’t want to put my other side projects on hold. 💪
Fun fun fun, time to dig up this old Google Trends project! It just became 2x more interesting with the name rollback

Curious about your interpretations...tell me more please.
Looker Studio becomes Data Studio...again
(not a joke...It is sad that this even needs to be said)
Here my take after reading the announcement

My #LookerStudio custom viz for funnel charts. It was much needed, especially lately. here the first step of the project discovery funnel with some explanations.

This freedom of expression must continue to exist to give the world every possible opportunity to be outraged by what is happening across the Atlantic.
Watching the latest episode of The Pitt, it's the first time I've seen a work of fiction featuring a story about ICE. I felt stunned, outraged, then saddened by the American reality being lived, & now being told.
après le slop, maintenant la soupe
Shapley value Viz with Looker Studio and GA4 connector (and without data preparation) 😎
An homemade solution as the first and second lines of investigation after a temporal anomaly detection.

😁 Tout à fait ! Plutôt légère pour une croix...quand il s'agit d'improviser un plat avec ce qu'il y a dans la cuisine et de tacher de faire un dressage de plat qui tient la route.
Tu nous as manqué à Superweek. Tu y seras peut-être l'année prochaine ?
Here I go again, crafting yet another way to compare two custom date ranges of Google Search Console within #LookerStudio.
I've lost count of how many alternatives I've built...
For my latest recipe based on sliders, first tests are promising, especially for short ranges.
To be continued.
Thanks!
Icing on the top, surprisingly my test site is not just crawled by my bot of fake random traffic but also by real users...not the purpose but quite happy now to have non-sensitive GSC data to share for demos & public projects
How beautiful! Such pure poetry delivered through impeccable storytelling and enhanced by splendid, often interactive, data visualizations 🥚👏👏👏
Looker Studio - New Release - Feb 5, 2026
Features details and my personal take
open.substack.com/pub/withlook...
Finished the onboarding on Substack with 2 publications:
- The "With Looker Studio" newsletter (migrated from Mailchimp)
- "As we see it now" for fields of data & #analytics in general
2026 will likely mean less LinkedIn and more Substack

WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI
there is a bug, Elon is not the first in the list
There is never a dull moment in the world of data, but it's up to us to choose how we evolve and which new challenges we take on.

On top of everything else, I've decided to dedicate time in the coming months to training on ClickHouse within Scaleway's infrastructure. I'm looking forward to reading use cases, testing the environment, and tackling the learning curve, however steep it may be.
5/6
It's an occasion to step out of my comfort zone, learn new technologies, and likely face some challenges due to the absence of certain facilities found in the environments I use daily.
