  1. Observable Framework is a static site generator. You can use Mastodon as a comment management system with Framework, though, as this Framework page shows:
    wncviz.com/visuals/tech/Mastod
    #observablehq

    This topic is setup so that people can respond to that post about using Mastodon to make comments within Observable Framework. Replies here will show up as comments on that post.

  2. Observable is a javascript-based notebook platform. It's a data visualization platform, but also an excellent way to experiment with javascript code frictionlessly or integrate interactivity into a written document.

    My previous blog posts are all Markdown-formatted, but with the option of Observable-formatted blog posts I can add interactive capabilities in a structured way.

  3. @allison_horst (after an opening zoom fail from hell) gave an awesome intro to notebooks yesterday at the course! Thank you 🙏 . I will definitely be kicking the tires to see how i can incorporate it into my viz workflows

  5. Wrote a tutorial for a basic course on how to compute maximum likelihood estimators with approximate standard errors in R. Sprinkled with some interactivity.

  6. 🥳🎉 1,000 stars on GitHub for the Quarto Awesome list!

    I am very glad what I started for me is useful to others!

  7. It would be great to have an #rstats package that coverts #ggplot2 code into #observablehq code. It would make it super easy to have interactive charts in static websites.
    Anyone working on this? Cc @hrbrmstr @bigdatadipper @observablehq @hadleywickham @thomasp85

  8. @foone This "flipbook" notebook works with the image selected, 20 columns and 27 rows. observablehq.com/@forresto/fli #ObservableHQ

  9. @davew,

    I would hope an ability to query your #RSS and #OPML feeds directly using Text Search, #SQL, #GraphSQL, or #SPARQL would fit that bill re data flow and connectivity :)

    Audience?
    End-users, power-users, and developers who are happy to work with a #Hyperlink as a Data Source Name (#DSN).

    App Examples?

    1. Spreadsheets (#GoogleSpreadsheet, #Excel, #Airtable)
    2. Various notebooks (#Jupyter, #Observablehq etc..)
    3. Data Visualization Tools
    4. Content Management
    5. etc

    @pac2,

    Do you have variants of your #Observablehq notebook demos where the #Wikidata ID is surfaced?

    Why is this useful?
    It enables one lookup additional information about what an ID denotes.

    Here's an example from the not too distant past using #DBpedia ID.

  11. After my previous post on easy interactivity of #rstats output through htmlwidgets in #quarto, and interaction with users, I decided to redo some of the examples using one of the new additions of Quarto compared to its predecessor RMarkdown: the possibility to include JS #observablehq cells.

    It was a great learning experience. I think that it is really useful that you can integrate visualization and data so easily!

  12. CW: Dynamicland, Bret Victor, spreadsheet programming

    Bret Victor, almost any coder's "rather inspiring role model", is working on a fascinating project called #Dynamicland.

    Not sure how to describe it, but "accessible, collaborative materialised #Spreadsheet programming" might be a start.

    I'd guess it has stuff in common with other projects like #WithEve and #ObservableHQ, but its take on peripherals and interaction is fascinating …
