Plotly.js/py - User Feedback on Charts
Graphs and Charts User Experience Survey

We expect this survey to take you about 5-10 minutes. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback! 🤗

We've spent more than a decade working on charting tooling and capabilities in our Plotly graphing libraries, and we're looking to learn how our community is using these charts and what expectations they have about the future of these libraries.

We'd love to learn a bit more about how you use these libraries and where you'd like to see us take them!
