Nothing gives me more professional satisfaction than seeing my work being used for practical applications. In 2014, I was commissioned to write and maintain a few Views-related modules to add interesting functionality to that ecosystem:
Recently, the original sponsor of this work notified me that he had finally launched Vizala, his site that utilizes these modules. Vizala "aims to be the internet's most useful database for country, demographic, social, and economic information. Instead of just providing answers, [its] robust analytics allow for in-depth analysis and provide a complete picture of your topic of interest. Vizala only uses data from trusted sources and includes links to the original source for maximum transparency."
Below is a screenshot of an economic report provided by the site. Under the hood, this report is a view using the Flipped Table style, to show data entries as columns, and Field Tooltip on header cells to provide more context to the information presented. The "Share" menu item invokes the Views Share functionality.
The site uses many more Views modules, including Views Save to save filter settings. Congratulations to Vizala for the launch and thanks for sponsoring useful modules that the whole Drupal community can reuse!
