Mosaic

27 Jan 2026 - 27 Jan 2026
Open in Logseq
    • visualization tool from Jeff Heer group, successor to Vega/Lite? More scalable at any rate. Looks like another Just The Right Thing Dammit.
    • Limits of Vega: all in .js; selection model issues; doesn't play well with external components
    • "middle-tier" architecture. common layer between databases and components.
      • Probably could replace Way data architecture, which was (very slowly) inventing this. Does much more.
    • Prior work: imMens, Falcon (index generation?). Tons of other stuff, all looks interesting. Kyrix (similar but less general)
    • DuckDB, WebAssembly
    • "While our implementation primarily targets SQL, DuckDB, and Apache Arrow, any of these pieces might be replaced"
    • vgplot a grammer of graphics where "graphical markes are Mosaic clients"?
    • Not in clay/kind system yet, could do that!
    • Can use Vega as a client, there's an example of that. Not sure what it buys you.
