Has anyone else noticed the trending page on @tableaupublic no longer returns 20 trending workbooks but instead usually 18?

I noticed in in my tableau public rankings dashboard. Each column is an hour of the day and you can see the height seems to fluctuate between 16 and 20 trending workbooks public.tableau.com/app/profi…

Marimekkos are cool, but when do we use them? Check out my dashboard having a play and fuel me to... finish it public.tableau.com/app/profi…

The single greatest loss of content on Tableau Public was when Jonni Walker deleted their profile. Soooo many beautiful maps gone

I use the tableau public API quite a bit and I think most of the errors I've had related to favourites of content that doesn't exist are for Jonni's work

They had such consistent naming too. ThePlatypus, TheEarthquakeRisk, TheHimalayas. Makes the errors nice and easy to spot

Tableau Public Data I'm producing a public dashboard to help people find authors near them and I was wondering if that gets any of you excited? Is there something specific you'd like to know?

It has gotten really complicated to build a map of all profiles as the geographic lookups using city, state and country using Tableau's built in data struggles with working the scenario where state is filled in for some profiles but not others. Needs multiple map layers and more

I may be obsessed with the stats, but I'm a data analyst and I love to see that I'm currently topping the favs/view metric on tableau public trending! Not seen this dashboard before? It's made for mobile public.tableau.com/app/profi…

On Tableau public, so many dashboards use fonts that I can render (resulting in times new roman). Is this mostly just a windows vs mac divide with the different default fonts installed?

I was curious how many profiles had favourited only and only one of my workbooks on Tableau Public. Then I parameterised it so that you can enter your name too. Turns out quite a few are! This one is just a silly little project public.tableau.com/app/profi…

On Tableau Public: The position of the trending section has been shifted to below the "From your network" section, and old content now appears below the "From your network" section as well...
232
To start trending on Tableau Public people usually have 2-3 favourites and 0 - 200 views. Doesn't that sound achievable to you for everyone?

This needs a warning that those bottom right hand values are much less reliable due to the nature of the data collection. I would ignore them

Business dashboards with backgrounds made in tools like Figma mislead business users and dashboard developers into thinking this is a practical approach. I don't understand why Tableau pushes them to the front of Public so much

Just to be clear, I don't care one bit what people post to public. Custom elements made in other tools can give you so much creative freedom and I'm all for it! You almost need to do this to get a VOTD. Go WILD, upload a dashboard made in powerBI and saved as an image

Did you know that to trend on Tableau public all you need are two favourites and 50 views within a few days of posting a Viz? I've been tracking trending for the last few months and it works
