Best Visualizations of March on the Voronoi App
We round up the most popular, most discussed, and most liked visualizations of the month on Voronoi, our new data storytelling platform.
At the end of 2023, we publicly launched Voronoi, our free new data discovery app!
The initial response from both users and creators has been incredible. We now have millions of in-app views, and there are already more than 700 interesting visualizations to discover, many of which will never be published on Visual Capitalist.
For that reason, we’ve chosen to highlight some of the most popular visualizations and creators from March in this roundup. To see them and many others, make sure to download the app!
Let’s take a look at a popular creator worth highlighting, as well as the most viewed, most discussed, and most liked posts of the month.
POPULAR CREATOR
Ehsan Soltani
Visual Capitalist isn’t the only creator on the Voronoi app.
Instead, it features incredible data-driven charts and stories from many of the world’s best creators, like Ehsan Soltani.
Ehsan is an economist, and one of the most prolific creators on Voronoi so far. He’s published 41 visualizations on wide-ranging subjects such as:
- The world’s biggest “money printer” economies
- Global commodity returns
- Corruption by country
- Inflation rates in advanced economies

This visualization from Visual Capitalist was one of the most viewed by users, and it highlights the top languages spoken around the world.

MOST DISCUSSED
Where Young People are Happiest
The most commented on visualization from Visual Capitalist showed the countries with the happiest young people (under 30 years old).
This comes from the World Happiness Report, which Visual Capitalist covers extensively every year.
In this year’s edition, one particularly interesting feature focused on happiness discrepancies between age groups. For example, in some countries, younger people were much happier than the average population—in others, older populations were far happier.
