I closed my eyes and randomly pecked 3 letters from the keyboard. “P L O” — which brought up Plotly. The Google entry described it as follows: “Plotly is at the center of our business development platform, and serves as a starting point for modeling and fitting tools. We can quickly comprehend and…” So you can just image how excited I was to jump into this one.
Turns out they’re a “data analytics and visualization tool.” Digging a little deeper, they’re cloud software that makes pretty graphs. It’s heavily focused on techy nerd stuff. So much jargon that I had a hard time figuring out exactly what they did. So I layman-ed it. (←Totally not a real word.).
Funny thing. I must’ve cached a home page when I was choosing sites for the list last week. I wrote the first 50 yesterday, and when I went back this morning to tackle the rest, the page was clearer. Still pretty tech-heavy, but I think it’s different. No more “Plotly is THE modern platform for agile business intelligence & data science.” Or maybe I was working off a landing page? I dunno…
Anyway, I made it so the average person could get a better picture of how to use their software:

Overall: Pretty decent. Not too shabby for my first time dealing with a tech project.
Notes: I may have strayed a bit from their tech-savvy audience, but it seems more accessible now. I took the “make the reader the hero” theme and tried to focus most lines on showing them in the winners circle. Admittedly, I did a poke a little fun at nerd culture (#82), but lovingly so. This one was easier than I thought it would be. I used some of the formulas to get going but I mostly used them for guidance, rather than just following them exactly. A little more creative freedom this way. I think with a bit more polishing, there could be some great lines here.
I started pulling lines from reviews. I don’t know why I didn’t do that sooner… #GoldMine
Time: Just over 1 hour broken up into 50/25/28 lines.
You lovely people have mentioned you like when I keep track of the total time. It’s been tough now that I’m breaking up the writing sessions, but I’ll do my best. Sometimes I go back and pop in a few single lines at a time. I’ll do what I can to show you behind the scenes on the recap after #10. Sign up below if you haven’t already.
6/100
