  • Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps

    Yep, Evidence is doing good work. We were most directly inspired by VitePress; we spent months rewriting both D3’s docs (https://d3js.org) and Observable Plot’s docs (https://observablehq.com/plot) in VitePress, and absolutely loved the experience. But we wanted a tool focused on data apps, dashboards, reports — observability and business intelligence use cases rather than documentation. Compared to Evidence, I’d say we’re trying to target data app developers more than data analysts; we offer a lot of power and expressiveness, and emphasize custom visualizations and interaction (leaning on Observable Plot or D3), as well as polyglot programming with data loaders written in any language (Python, R, not just SQL).

  • Animated map showing frequency and location of births around the world [OC]
    1 project | /r/dataisbeautiful | 5 Dec 2023
    I made this interactive visualization that attempts to show the real-time frequency and location of births around the world. A country’s annual births (i.e. the country’s population times its birthrate) were distributed across all of the populated locations in each country, weighted by the population distribution (i.e. more populated areas got a greater fraction of the births). Data Sources and Tools Population and birthrate data for 2023 was obtained from Wikipedia (Population and birth rates). Population distribution across the globe was obtained from Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (sedac) at Columbia University. Data is processed and visualized at a 1 degree x 1 degree resolution, each of which has a different probability of a birth occurring in a specific time period. D3.js was used to create the map elements and html, css and javascript were used to create the user interface.
  • How do you implement library types?

    When I go to the homepage of types/d3 the only hint for any kind of documentation is what seems to be the main github page of d3. It's highly possible I'm missing something here, so sorry if I am but I can't find any documentation of how you are supposed to type these library objects.

  • How to optimise React Apps?
    5 projects | dev.to | 21 Apr 2024
    React has introduced measures like batching state updates, background concurrent rendering and memoization to tackle this. My opinion is that the best way to solve the problem is by improving their reactivity model. The app needs to be able to track the code that should be re-run on updating a given state variable and specifically update the UI corresponding to this update. Tools like solid.js and svelte work in this manner. It also eliminates the need for a virtual DOM and diffing.

    Similarly to Promises/A+, this effort focuses on aligning the JavaScript ecosystem. If this alignment is successful, then a standard could emerge, based on that experience. Several framework authors are collaborating here on a common model which could back their reactivity core. The current draft is based on design input from the authors/maintainers of Angular, Bubble, Ember, FAST, MobX, Preact, Qwik, RxJS, Solid, Starbeam, Svelte, Vue, Wiz, and more…

    Volar originally was Vue3's language support tool for VScode (I don't know about other editors). By today, volar has become a language indipendent framework to create language tools. It might still be a bit early for the dev with skill issues like me to use it and build some tools, but astro and svelte already use Volar to create their language tools.
