To add to the above: At first I was surprised by the date offsets in Observable’s pagers, but I’ve quickly come to appreciate them (this is coming from someone who implemented or integrated mostly counting-style pagers).
However, I understand that date based page offsets are pretty much incompatible with advanced (or, really, any) query filtering, so my two requests would be:
- Have a date range filter so that I can restrict results to a time range (before, after, or both).
- Salvage current date based offsets by offering perma links to result pages (i.e., static offset). I’d happily brainstorm practical solutions for this use case, as I can see applications for my day-to-day work as well.
