#4Does anyone know of a site where people submit visualizations, where one might find these tools pushed to the extremes of what they can do in novel ways?

Apologies if it’s not what you had in mind, but the examples in the MPL docs are exceptionally thorough when it comes to showing off advanced features (though they can be quite hard to parse).

#7This person is prolific and has a ton of great tutorials, free books, and more in their repo (I like the numpy book: https://www.labri.fr/perso/nrougier/from-python-to-numpy/). Major thanks to the author for sharing all this knowledge.

My friend, if you have not heard of it already, I am proud to introduce you to the magic that is Observable: https://observablehq.com/collection/@observablehq/visualizat...
I'm a full stack web dev, not a data scientist, but Observable has dramatically changed my relationship to code. The last time I felt this excited by programming was about 20 years ago when I was in middle school and discovered Game Maker's scripting language...

While I understand that language is evolving and that only under a "strict definition" of open access does it mean removing barriers to copying and reuse [1], it's seems pretty duplicitous to say it's "open" while putting it under a non-commercial license.
