dbnomics

Economics, as plain URLs. Macro knowledge pages built on DBnomics data — every chart below is a x-cmd draw URL: the data lives in the link, server-rendered as SVG. Open any chart and you see its full parameters; paste it anywhere markdown images work.

How the charts work

Every figure is a preview plus a click. The image is https://x-cmd.com/draw/echarts?d=<urlencoded ECharts option>, rendered to a standalone SVG by x-cmd/draw; clicking it opens the very same option in draw's explore app, where you can hover the data, tweak the parameters and edit the values. No JS runs here — the SVG is static, printable and AI-readable (the option is the data). Country colors are fixed across the site (US blue, China red, …).

To make your own: pick a series with x dbnomics, then hand the numbers to draw — or let your AI agent do it with the draw skill.

Data sources

IMF World Economic Outlook (2025 vintage incl. projections) · BIS central bank policy rates · OECD regional database (US states, Chinese provinces) — via the DBnomics API, cached by x dbnomics. Lines slice 2000–2025; bars show 2025.
