What is Datawrapper?

Datawrapper's October is touch tooltips, keyboard focus and small chart repairs.

Datawrapper's recent changelog is a run of small, single-line changes. Touch devices get reliable tooltips on multiple-line and multiple-column charts and close buttons on symbol maps and scatter plots, keyboard focus outlines are now consistent and themeable, and range highlights can be hidden per device. The largest items are still minor refinements to existing chart types.

What is Deepnote?

Deepnote's agent now runs from first prompt to finished notebook without handoffs.

Deepnote's most recent entry, in October, makes Deepnote Agent a single agent that keeps context from the first instruction to the finished notebook, and lets private and shared projects sit in the same folder. It builds on June's native Codex connection to a workspace's notebooks, schedules and data, and July's MCP tools that let agents create and attach integrations. Spring releases added run snapshots, Git sync, Polars support, PDF export and AI usage metering.

Datawrapper vs Deepnote: editorial side-by-side

D
Datawrapper
ANALYTICS
5.0

Datawrapper's October is touch tooltips, keyboard focus and small chart repairs.

◆ Current state

Datawrapper's recent changelog is a run of small, single-line changes. Touch devices get reliable tooltips on multiple-line and multiple-column charts and close buttons on symbol maps and scatter plots, keyboard focus outlines are now consistent and themeable, and range highlights can be hidden per device. The largest items are still minor refinements to existing chart types.

◆ Where it's heading

The current thread is reader-side interaction, with mobile touch and keyboard access getting the most attention. Range highlights have now had two additions in three months, after patterns in August, so annotation remains the one area accumulating options. No new chart type appears in the visible window.

◆ Prediction

Expect more touch and accessibility fixes as tooltip behavior is brought in line across chart types, since the notes already compare newer behavior with choropleth maps.

2.5

Deepnote's agent now runs from first prompt to finished notebook without handoffs.

◆ Current state

Deepnote's most recent entry, in October, makes Deepnote Agent a single agent that keeps context from the first instruction to the finished notebook, and lets private and shared projects sit in the same folder. It builds on June's native Codex connection to a workspace's notebooks, schedules and data, and July's MCP tools that let agents create and attach integrations. Spring releases added run snapshots, Git sync, Polars support, PDF export and AI usage metering.

◆ Where it's heading

The notebook is being repositioned as a workspace agents operate in, both Deepnote's own agent and external ones like Codex. Releases have slowed from monthly in spring to one entry each in July and October.

◆ Prediction

Further agent capabilities or more external agent connections are the likeliest next move; the slower cadence makes timing hard to read.
