I heard great things about marimo marimo.io

Also, there‘s Quarto with support for R, Python and JS/ObservableJS but it’s rather static.

Another #Quarto + #RStats + Observable combination for Day 27 of the #30DayChartChallenge📊

Two heatmaps to illustrate the prompt of "Noise" - unsorted heatmaps look like random noise, (sensibly) sorted heatmaps are more likely to reveal patterns!

#DataViz #Day27 #ObservableJS
Two heatmaps showing income share of the richest 1% in Europe, using colour intensity to show inequality levels across countries and years. Clean, consistent layout with easy comparisons, though the dense grid and small text may limit readability. Colour scale helps convey variation effectively.

Another blog post! Lots of map data sources like Natural Earth follow a de facto control rule that can conflict with de jure boundaries. Here's how to use #rstats and {sf} and #observablejs to move Crimea to Ukraine. www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

New blog post! After archiving USAID data last week, I decided to play around with and recreate parts of the ForeignAssistance dot gov dashboard with #QuartoPub and #ObservableJS. I learned a ton about D3 projections and making pretty Javascript plots #dataskyence www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...
Screenshot of an interactive world map using the Robinson projection showing 2023 aid commitments in each country Western Europe mapped with a cropped Robinson projection with labels for each country Egypt mapped with a cropped Robinson projection with labels for each country Table of contents for the post: Working with map data Get map data Maps and projections with Observable Plot Built-in projections Other projections Filtering map data and adjusting projections Removing elements Quick and dirty cheating method: change the width or height Built-in projections and domain settings Other projections and .fitExtent() Arbitrary areas and .fitExtent() Working with USAID data Get USAID data Connect USAID data to the map data Improving the map Fixing labelling issues Some final tweaks The full game: Complete final code

It's been a couple of weeks, but I finally managed to animate a line plot in ObservableJS 🥹 based on this solution.

Plot: Animate a bar chart (v2)
Observable Plot doesn’t yet have built-in animations, but they’re getting closer. Here’s a way to animate a bar chart using the new render transform. See also Fade-in bar chart.

I work at a non-profit where our “product” is a high quality dataset, and we’ve just done our first data release - and many more to come.

Data folks, note that the data browser is built with Quarto + ObservableJS + DuckDB. Blog post on that is in the works!

Observablejs is more like Jupiter notebooks than a rapid UI prototyping tool.

Actually kinda interesting. Python has loads of ‘rapid prototyping’ tools, I don’t know if any JS ones.

ahhhh this is so cool! Finally decided to play with Quarto dashboards (quarto.org/docs/dashboa... ) and ObservableJS to automatically grab data from multiple Google Sheets and plot/show the data. No need for Shiny or anything—refreshing the page gets the latest data!

Rite Aid has to file papers with the bankruptcy court for each round of actual closings (two such filings, so far, in 2023).
NJ, NY, MI, CA hit hardest so far.

Shld be able to start mapping possible pharmacy deserts, soon.

New #RStats #WebR #ObservableJS notebook up that is a more practical (vs. toy) example.

I used to — in a cron job — run a simple glm() on our tag data to get an idea when we’d reach `n` tags.

WebR makes it possible to do that directly in Observable notebooks.

WebR makes it possible to do that directly in Observable notebooks. Also includes a neat way to enter R code in Observable Markdown cells and eval it from those cells (so you get syntax highlighting). https://observablehq.com/@hrbrmstr/webr-glm-in-observable#rPredict

We lost control over elections thanks to Citizens United, and we're about to lose regulatory control over U.S. corporations thanks to Bill Clinton signing the ​National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 into law.

Since the day this story (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/10/private-equity-publicly-traded-companies/675788/) about the declining number of publicly listed companies in the U.S. came out, the fact that it had no chart to go with the story really bugged me. It's making the rounds, again, and I needed some practice with annotation in #ObservableJS Plot, so I grabbed some data from FRED and went to town. https://observablehq.com/@hrbrmstr/the-secretive-industry-devouring-the-u-s-economy 👀 You can “thank” Bill Clinton for this, btw. He signed the ​National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 into law. the missing chart in The Atlantic’s article (URL in post)

Once more using the image hack to get more text here.

Day 4 of this year's #30DayMapChallenge is a truly "bad" map.

Post entry: 30dmc.hrbrmstr.dev/2023/day-04....
Day 4 of the #30DayMapChallenge is "A bad map". I went with the well-worn “places starting with 'bad' in the U.S.’ theme, and explain why in the post. Uses #ObservableJS in #Quarto (I hacked in an update to v6.0.0 of the OJS parser to avoid having to embed a notebook, again). Also uses #DuckDB to make a #GeoJSON from the #Geonames US names TSV. You can select which place points to display via the Observable Inputs table / search bar. https://30dmc.hrbrmstr.dev/2023/day-04.html map and table at the url in the post

@allisonhorst.bsky.social Deepsha and @tanyashapiro.bsky.social had an inspiring discussion about #ObservableJS for interactive #DataViz.

Since #OJS uses the grammar of graphics, it should be a straight forward transition from #RStats and #ggplot2.
