Featured Observable Notebooks
Every now and then I have an idea for a diagram or data visualization and I like to play around with it in Observable, a reactive JavaScript notebook environment. Some of those ideas go nowhere and some of those get finished and make me feel good. Here are some of my favorite notebooks that I have created over the years.
