Thank you @recifs and @mbostock for the tips on asynchronous JavaScript!! This new @observablehq framework + @duckdb enables really, really cool new applications.
Today we’re launching a bold new vision: an open-source static site generator — Observable Framework — for creating fast, beautiful data apps you can host anywhere. Use JavaScript for interactive graphics with Python, R, or any language for data analysis. https://t.co/64YI1eHoiy
Late last night the number of downloaded copies of my books went past 100,000. Nice milestone for the end of the year.
All available for free from @leanpub - https://t.co/1BIlmn8bOw
Remember https://t.co/fbi0IVTM2u? I made a little search engine on @observablehq with almost 38K blocks collected by @enjalot.
Since all the data is local, already cleaned-up and cached, you can search by description, color or API. And it's faaast!

https://t.co/lKuNGo0V0M was launched 10 years ago today! 🎉 At the time, I couldn’t have imagined the longevity and impact this project would have. To all the users and fans over the years: thank you.
And with this anniversary, an announcement:
I've written a blog post on creating large-scale interactive force-directed graphs, with PIXI.js v7 handling the rendering and D3.js for the force simulation abilities.
I also compared rendering between PIXI and D3.

📣 Data journalism isn't a fad, a prestige play, a loss leader or a "nice to have."
Readers want it; More than almost anything else legacy outlets publish.
It's become a fundamental piece of the paywall business model.
👇 But you don't have to take it from me. 👇

I started a company!
it's called Latent Interfaces and I see it as a vehicle for exploring latent spaces by building new kinds of data interfaces.
I shared my first update on what we're doing in my newsletter:
