Jonathan Edwards Andrei Matei Lightning talk #2: "Hacking Observable Notebooks from within" by Tom Larkworthy (Tom Larkworthy)

Pumped for a DOM centric visual representation

I'me speaking about how to smoosh observable notebooks into single html files that are double click-open and that work offline

good progress with the UI representation of a Observable runtime graph. moved to every notebook is a panel. They are reactively linked so you can edit one and the others change instantly. And this assembly is downloadable as a single offline HTML file

Get a ticket to watch Have you tried rubbing a database on it? tomorrow and discuss questions about wacky stuff in Convex! Or wait, the conference videos go up later—but this is a remote conference that's fun to participate in live, there are some real neat folks in the discussions.

wow this visualisation of a notebook dataflow graph turned out 100x better than I imagined. Colors are modules. Links are reactive dependancies. Observable plot makes it easy

Live, navigable and interactive visualization of the Observable runtime graph. Click nodes to jump to the cell source. I hope this gives a foothold and a birdseye view for readers than want to understand *exactly* how a notebook works. observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy…

Very interesting application of GEPA to Observable Javascript, thanks a lot Tom Larkworthy for the great blog! observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy… (screenshot from bsky.app/profile/larkwo…)

Roboco-op reads notebooks as images + the code and the runtime live values. I generally think pure text based coding is antiquated and a bad form of representation, particularly in spatial, data and UI domains. Leverage the whole brain. observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy…

Tough to implement, but its done! *multiple* pinnable code editors and an inline markdown editor. A nicer way to author. Tough *specifically* with dataflow programming coz there wasn't a generative abstraction... until I added Dataflow Templating specifically to tackle this
