I’ve drafted a notebook that is intended to be more like a blog post for non-programmers than a notebook for other coders. Is there a way I can publish it and hide 100% of the code so a reader will only see the output? You can see the draft here. > **[The Ichiro Bet](https://observablehq.com/@palewire/the-ichiro-bet)** > > An Observable notebook by Ben Welsh. Once the 2018 baseball season starts this week, I will expand the chart to include a “live” line tracking the bet with some emphasis and perhaps a projection as well. I’d like to share it with a group of friends who aren’t programmers. ---
