For another grammar-of-graphics-based visualization library (flexibly compose charts rather than simply pick a template), check out Altair https://altair-viz.github.io .

You might already do this, but great opportunity to support them with a donation.

Arxiv can recompile latex to support accessibility and html. Going to pdf submissions would be a major step backward.

The UX has many rough edges especially in the default element apps. UX was the primary reason my university department passed on switching to matrix from slack so far.

And also not UI layout generation.

Altair works with Polars. The built-in plotting library for Polars is Altair actually. https://docs.pola.rs/user-guide/misc/visualization/

Semantic scholar is pretty good so I keep using it more and more.

I love the simplicity of this. Hurray for small models for small tasks.

I'd be scared to spell it with one M or two Ts.

Aiegradient is great and they make indoor and outdoor monitors. Fully open source. They are the authors of this article and to a lot of research and advocacy which is great.

Awesome to hear that you like Vega Altair. With the recent integration of VegaFusion you don’t need to embed the data in the notebook anymore and I’ve found Altair to scale quite w…

matrix.org is a neat open protocol/platform but clients have some room to improve.
