Capabilities

Integrated analysis, intuitive by design

Connect a dataset and start discovering. Images, maps, charts, networks, and advanced analytics all share one filter state — switch views without losing your selection, without re-running queries, without extra tools to install.

🖼️

Images & media

Browse thousands of images, thumbnails, and records in a zoomable grid — filtered instantly by any combination of variables.

🗺️

Maps & spatial insight

Location data renders automatically as an interactive map where you can color-code, cluster, and filter without ever leaving the view.

🕸️

Networks & relationships

Co-authorship, co-occurrence, and citation relationships emerge as interactive graphs that reveal communities and connections across your collection.

🤖

Advanced analytics

Connect Jupyter notebooks or Streamlit apps to run analyses against your live data and see results appear as new columns and views immediately.

📂

Simple authoring

Start from a CSV, a Google Sheet, or a connected survey form — free accounts, no installation, no server, no IT department.

🔗

Share findings

Any view with any active selection encodes into a single shareable link — send it and collaborators open SuAVE in exactly your state.

Integrations

Collect in the field.
Explore in the office.

SuAVE connects directly to KoboToolbox and LimeSurvey via REST API. Configure the bridge once — new submissions appear as live records in SuAVE automatically, with no CSV export, no reformatting, and no waiting.

Views

Twelve ways to see your data

Every view responds to the same filters. Switch between them to discover different facets of the same dataset.

Examples

One platform for images, maps, charts, and networks

A fossil archive, a painter's oeuvre, a co-authorship network — each opens in the same interface, shares a single filter panel, and preserves state in a shareable link.

Education

Built for the classroom, trusted in research

Professors at UCSD use SuAVE to teach research methods without requiring students to learn R or Python first. The visual interface makes data exploration immediate and intuitive.

Teaching resources
👁️

Visual first

Students spot outliers and patterns before running any statistics.

📋

Live survey data

Connect Limesurvey to push student responses directly into SuAVE.

🔗

Share findings

Students share URL-encoded filter states as their "findings" — no export required.

🧑‍💻

Notebook bridge

Advanced students extend analysis with Jupyter without leaving SuAVE.

🌐

Remote-ready

Works entirely in the browser — no software installation, no VPN.

🆓

Free for education

SuAVE is free for academic use. Publish and share surveys at no cost.

"SuAVE allows students to immediately engage with real survey data visually before they understand the statistics. That first encounter — seeing how two variables relate across hundreds of respondents — changes how they think about data for the rest of the course."
— Akos Rona-Tas, Professor of Sociology, UC San Diego
