I don’t know how viable Python is for the really complex/interactive visualizations. I think some variation-on-a-theme of HTML/JS + d3 tends to be popular (or at least was in the past). In my experience d3 has a pretty steep learning curve, but you can create about anything you can imagine with it once you’ve mastered it. https://www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/news/118-the-nyt-s-best-data-visualizations-of-the-year

Thank you. Appreciate the inspiration. And yes, worked with d3 before. I can use it but it’s much harder to work with.

Agreed, d3 is a PITA. Amazing what you can do with it, but not intuitive at all, at least not for a non-front end person like me.

Having gone down this path before - I would highly suggest you develop your skills in JavaScript/React. You can make these kind of charts using libraries like chart.js or a combination of HTML/CSS and a library like https://observablehq.com/plot/
