Thanks very much. I really appreciate the feedback.

Another Blabr dev here. This is a really nice blab. We'd targeted Blabr for scientific computing (and, in particular, for STEM and conceptual modelling), but you've demonstrated th…

Here's a way to use an iframe to embed a blab in a web page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10529079 For WordPress, you could use an iframe plugin.

Dev here. This is a follow up to a previous HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10481316

Thanks for this great question. To answer it, a good place to start is with why we wanted to build Blabr. Some months ago, we were working with interactive spreadsheets from the Sp…

Thank you. Easily setting up "tunable" parameters (e.g., sliders) in a computation was a key requirement for Blabr. For example, it is very instructive/insightful to adjust the var…

Currently, no. But this is our #1 priority. We're aiming for a simple embedding solution, e.g., 1) an html div with gist id attribute (plus loading a JavaScript file); and 2) a Wor…

We think so, too. Here's an example of a blab gallery based on modules from the popular Space Math @ NASA educational website: http://spacemath.github.io We would love to work with…

Yes - STEM is a primary focus of Blabr. In fact, an initial application we had in mind was to convert interactive Excel spreadsheets from the Space Math @ NASA website ( http://spa…

Thanks! By the way, if you click "Doc & Examples" (at bottom of blab), you'll see several of these dynamic demos under the "Demos" column. For the main demo on the home page, the e…

Blabr currently supports pasting a string of values (space-separated, or comma+space-separated) into a table column. (Conversely, if you copy a table column to the clipboard, its v…

Developed a demo scripting tool ourselves. We plan to make it available for anyone to script their blab demos. Here's an example of a demo script: https://gist.github.com/mvclark/0…

Thanks very much! Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. We have several new blab examples to share, too. Martin and Gary - Blabr developers

Beautiful, fast interactive graphics. Would be good to have link to source on the page.

Nice post. Another one I find useful is to define your own log function, e.g., function log(x) {console.log(x);}; You'd use log instead of console.log for debugging your code. Then…
