## What it is
A library and web app that generates an interactive Technology Radar visualization inspired by Thoughtworks' radar. Data is supplied via a public Google Sheet with columns for name, ring, quadrant, and description, and rendered as an interactive blip chart.

## Use cases
- create an interactive tech radar for my team
- visualize technology adoption decisions on a radar chart
- generate a radar from a Google Sheet
- publish a Thoughtworks-style technology radar
- track blip movement between radar editions

## When to choose
- you want a Thoughtworks-style radar with minimal setup
- your data lives in a public Google Sheet
- you need an interactive, self-hostable radar visualization

## When to avoid
- you need non-radar chart types
- your data must stay private and you can't self-host
- you need fine-grained custom styling beyond the radar layout

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, charts, web-framework
- domain: data-visualization, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: tech-radar, interactive-visualization, google-sheets, thoughtworks, d3, web-server, docker, nodejs
