DESCRIPTION 📄
What if you could use your own expertise and AI to build a tool that didn't exist yet? Ben did exactly that.
He built Ferry Tales Studio, a browser-based Vega-Lite chart editor for Power BI and Deneb users, using Claude Code to design, iterate, and ship something genuinely useful. In this live demo, Ben walks through the tool and explains why he built it: to give people a hands-on way to learn data visualisation by doing.
The takeaway: you don't need to be a software engineer to build tools that teach.
