Welcome to Workbench!

Workbench is a platform that helps you make sense of data tables. Code like a pro -- without code.

Features include:

  • Steps to download, HTML-scrape, clean, analyze and visualize data.
  • Steps to load tables from Google Drive, Twitter and APIs.
  • Emailed notifications when data changes.
  • An integrated data-journalism training course.
  • Undo, so you can't make mistakes -- only experiments.
  • Unlimited power, with custom Python and Excel-like formulas.
