Translations of notebooks Does anyone have experience making notebooks responsive to different languages? Simple approach might be to have the text be translated and have an Input toggle to switch between options, but has anyone explored this further?

Passing variables to notebooks Colleague was interested in whether you could pass a variable to a notebook in the url. For example, passing a string to set the default value for an Observable Input. • Is this possible with a Notebook? • Is this possible within a Framework Project page?

Understanding pricing tier changes Would like to better understand the recent pricing tier changes released 2024-04-25. • Starter tiers workspaces are now a single member and a single Project • For Pro tier workspaces, there are no member limits and no hosted Project limits, where pricing is determined by the member count. • Does this mean that a Pro tier workspace of any size has access to unlimited hosted Projects? In other words, the abilities to host unlimited Projects is only based on the use of a Pro tier, not the quantity of team members within that tier?

Seeing unexpected "md" appearing at beginning of markdown blocks, like in https://observablehq.com/@d3/d3-group

Unused FileAttachments • In a notebook, do unused file attachments affect performance, in that a large unused file will slow down a notebook? • Related, unused files often are present because previous forks used different file versions. So, these can be deleted, but it will mean that older forks will not work? Thanks!

Download a sql query as CSV/JSON I have a parquet file I run a query on as DuckDB, and I get back what looks like an array of `Row`’s, which work well within a notebook. I did have a desire to download a query result and am not seeing that option (where you can say download an array of Objects). • Is there something I can do to download a dataset I made, or maybe change the data to be objects, not Rows from a sql query? Thanks!

To transform this into a normal JavaScript object, you could use

tester2 = Array.from(tester, (d) => ({...d}))

What is a method for downloading content generated in an Observable notebook as a file?

l am suddenly getting this error in my notebook: (The funny part is I can fetch that url directly in a browser tab, and the api responds immediately. And no, not CORS. The console message is:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

A Table input just for display A designer asked me if the row selection for an Observable Table Input can be disabled. Is there a way to do this? (docs for Table input)

hey all! I've been using a modified version of https://github.com/observablehq/database-proxy with duckdb to expose my local duckdb data to observablehq (changes here https://github.com/observablehq/database-proxy/compare/main...0xcaff:database-proxy:martin/duckdb?expand=1 plus the attached patch). I'm using the proxy as I found my database too large to use with the in-process wasm duckdb (lacks multi threaded execution, seems to experience memory exhaustion when trying to load a duckdb database from local disk). I know I could use motherduck to solve this but I don't need collaboration yet and want to experiment a bit first in a single user environment before I setup motherduck. Currently my setup works but I'd like to upstream my changes but to get rid of the hardcoded stuff in server.js I think I'll need some help adding a new item in the

New database

modal for duckdb which allows for connecting to duckdb through the self hosted proxy. The value for

type

the generated secret token would be changed to

duckdb

allowing the proxy to detect and connect using the right driver without hardcoding. I really want to see this feature in Observable as I think duckdb is a powerful tool. If someone from observable can handle the changes on the observable side, I'm happy to implement and test proxy side changes and write docs to get this over the line.

CSS Change Did the CSS classes just change for Observable Inputs? Example: `oi-3a86ea`→
