We’re going to have our first community meetup in San Francisco! When: December 10th, 2019 5:30 - 7 PM Where: Our offices at 215 2nd St. San Francisco, CA Come meet other Observable users and hang out with the team. We’ll have talks from community members along with show & tell so you can demo w…

[image] jrus: I want to make (or entice someone else to make / help me with) some kind of user interface for inputting integers or floating point numbers which shows the individual bits and allows bits to be toggled instead of (or in addition to) showing a slider. I’m not sure if just a row of s…

All of these are great! My personal guidance is to shoot for talking about a handful of these while you have everyone’s captive attention tomorrow and expect to break off afterwards to deep dive into the nitty gritty on any given one, with people 1:1. From experience, the high bandwidth 1:1 conver…

My plan is to give a bit of a meta talk about what kind of high-level wishlist I have for the evolution of Observable as a platform for doing creative/exploratory work, but pitched at the community because the types of general-purpose components I want to build / entice someone else to build are mos…

How did it go? (and has it been filmed for us for farfaraway?)

Random idea, @jrus : A running checklist notebook with the widgets and tools you’d like to see. Then if/when they’re implemented, turn it into a link. (And of course including things which are already done). Mostly as a way to collect information so it becomes a go-to resource you’d memorize and don’…

Also, @jrus , here’s a quick cut of a binary input that handles all the basic typed array data types: https://observablehq.com/@rreusser/binary-input , e.g. binaryInput({type: 'float64', value: Math.PI}) I didn’t try to display the separate parts since that requires a bit of extra interpretation that…

[image] Fil: How did it go? (and has it been filmed for us for farfaraway?) It went well, I think! Not filmed, sorry. There are a few bumps to iron out with the next one (early February). Depending on ambition and time, may try to tackle either streaming and/or filming for the next one (where…

Disorganized and probably rather incoherent. But hopefully got my message across. If I give another talk at one of these thingies I think I’d try to show off a single notebook that has pretty pictures involved. :slight_smile: It was great to see everybody face to face. I learned from Mike about t…

@jrus You got a binary editor widget prototype out of it. So I guess I got your message at least. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: (I enjoyed the talk btw!)

I just added on my TODO list “talk about NaNs in IEEE floating point” because your binary input made me think about it. Mostly, about the huge space of NaNs that are available.
