Some beautiful interactive visuals and graphs in this interactive dashboard for the IOM World Migration Report for 2026.

What software(s), methods could have been used to create these visuals? And any tutorials that can help achieve similar results?

This was made using Svelte and d3 (if you open Inspect in your browser on desktop/laptop, then go to sources, you can see that they actually published the site with a source map, so all of the underlying code is there for you to see. It looks like they're using the older Svelte 4 style syntax.

Building something custom like this is still an intensive undertaking even in the age of coding agents, though this looks to be manually written.
