Are there any similar projects that allow you to plot thousands or tens of thousands of datapoints and also allows the viewer zoom into time series plots? I'd love to have an in-browser matplotlib replacement. So far I haven't found one. Observable plots look static.

Looks very nice!
Re: Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps
#63Hey, HN. We’re thrilled to release Observable Framework today — a new open-source tool for developing data apps. I highly recommend viewing this example report adapted from our internal dashboard analyzing web logs: https://observablehq.com/framework/examples/api/ This technique of “just plot everything” (7.6M requests as a scatterplot) has revealed surprising insights we’ve used to optimize our servers and better co…
One question I have is if there's a way to integrate an observable framework project into an existing static site? I see how I could easily add a project as a subdomain, but what if I wanted to interleave a project I make with observable framework into my existing domain and that static site generator I already use for that domain?
By the way, thank you making this. I've been reading and enjoying very much the documentation. It looks like it has huge potential.
Re: Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps
#64I'm super excited to try this out! Couple of questions since I see @mbostock active in the comments. 1. Is the flexibility of languages used in data loaders/backend going to eventually come to the front end/ui? Or will the paradigm always be bring-your-own-language for the data loading but build your dashboard with observablejs/observable plot? 2. Considering ObservableJS is supported by Quarto, can we look forward t…
(disclosure: Quarto dev here). I'm a huge Observable fan.
Speaking entirely for myself, this space is so important that I'm thrilled to have more activity rather than less. Quarto's great and Observable's great. I hope folks pick the tool that's best for their use case!

#65I appreciate the nod to "File over app"[1] in the announcement. It's so cool that a Markdown file with code blocks can be the source for complex data visualizations and dashboards. Interoperability of this kind makes me giddy. I played around with editing an Observable site from Obsidian and it works great[2].

We’ve talked about and shared your “File over app” manifesto so many times internally over the last few months. It’s one of those tweets that gets immortalized as the perfect crystallization of an ethos that we might otherwise have only been able to gesture at vaguely. It gives the ethos weight and clarity and credibility, and it’s such a relief to be able to point to it! I’m very grateful. —an Observable employee

My question as well. If I had say a Hugo blog, how much effort would it be to embed the output to its own page?
Re: Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps
#67Another tidbit buried in this announcement is that Observable Framework is 100% vanilla JavaScript syntax — so you get Observable’s reactive runtime without the quirky Observable JavaScript syntax (as in Observable notebooks). And you can use static ES imports from npm or local modules, declare multiple top-level variables in a code block (not just a single named variable per cell), call the built-in display(…) funct…
I too appreciate this. It is so easy to turn javascript into a DSL that doesn't much look like vanilla javascript. Give me a great API anytime over a DSL except in some very specific cases.

#68I love this and hope that a django-observable package comes along that makes it very easy to integrate and serve these static apps through a larger Django site.

Congratulations on this release! Your writing at bost.ocks.org, D3, and Observable have been big sources of inspiration over the years, and it’s always exciting to see new ideas from this team.

Also curious if it can be worked into my jekyll sites
