    Love the new Page loaders feature! This made me wonder.... 1. Is there a way to customize the entire html layout (e.g: removing all the
    modulepreload
    , `script`s, and other Framework specific things). Would love to have the customizability of Astro while being able to run Python data and page loaders 2. Would it be possible to also generate the
    dynamicPaths
    from a script? With something like this, almost no JS would be required for data folks to jump into Framework.

    Is there a way to control the text and link-format in the table of contents ? I have issues with a server which doesnt support the / convention. Is there any hack or workaround to make it keep index.html

    Hello, is there a list of dashboard creation services offered by Observable or even a list of contractors or consultants that we could work with to build out our analytics platform?

    Hey all!! New here. Just trying to make the theme switcher, sitting with it like several days. Maybe there is a function under the hood to change it. B.c. changing it with css do not apply on the theme.

    Hey there! I'm working on a small dashboard and trying to keep things lightweight in terms of data loading. Currently loading CSVs from Framework and works like a charm since the website doesn't need to load any parquet or DuckDB WASM packages. I've been trying to compress them but that doesn't seem to play well with
    FileAttachment("data.csv").csv({typed: true});
    . Any tips here? I think modern browser should support getting the data compressed (
    gzip
    /
    zstd
    ) and would speed things up.

    I haven’t had a chance to do anything with our observable framework setup in a while, but came back to it today — and it’s still a pleasure. just wanted to shout that out somewhere. thank you! 👏

    Hello everyone, I am a React/Next.js developer currently starting my journey with D3.js. I’m looking for beginner-friendly resources to help me understand the fundamentals. My goal is to build a solid foundation so I can experiment and create impactful visualizations like the inspiring examples I’ve seen. If you have any recommendations or guidance to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

    Quick question on pricing: are editors and viewers "named" or "floating"? I am really curious about the tool but we are pretty informal analytics needs and I expect editors and viewers to be pretty inconsistent month-to-month. I'd hate to spend on more viewers / editors than actually used each month.

    Say I have some code I want to display, but the code is saved in a variable, I can do the following:
    Copy code
    ```ts
    const code = await FileAttachment('hello.py').text()
    pre ${code} /pre``` But is there any way to do it where I get syntax highlighting?

    Random question for the group. I am trying to align my career in data engineering and BI development with my interest in developing data visualizations and dashboards with Observable. For those of you who are fortunate enough to build with code instead of traditional BI tools, would you be willing to share details about your job? Any information about your company, role, and career path would be very helpful. And any stories of successfully switching your company from using traditional BI tools to using Observable would be particularly interesting. For context, the company I work for has a small pool of full-stack developers that build in JavaScript frameworks like React (which I'm not experienced in) while they have a large group of "analytics engineers" that build with tools like Power BI. I see tools like Observable as a great sweet spot between these two, but it hasn't made traction in my company (yet).

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to chart India and Indian states using D3 geo. For some reason—which I'm unable to figure out—the path elements that are generated from the mercator projection function are 1. Overlapping, and only the last path is visible. 2. Extending beyond the bounds of svg, when in requirement, they should only take as much space as bounded by the path `d`'s stroke. Following is an observable for reproduction: https://observablehq.com/@apah/indian-states. In this example I've added a fill opacity to show that the paths are rendered, but incorrectly. When I try a different (less accurate) data like this one: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/RajuBhosale/a136cf7b0d437067bdb1/raw/33c9d96c70931f56883b9f50a3dd3f63f605938a/map.geojson, the problem doesn't happen. So I believe, there might be something wrong with the data itself? I can't figure out how to figure that out, especially because the geojson data is from a government source, so it's the most accurate data I have, and all the other GIS softwares like mapshaper.org and qgis are rendering it correctly. Help would be really appreciated, have been stuck on this for a while. The only relevant content around this problem that I've found on the internet: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20196948/geopath-overlap-after-scale-d3-js

    The documentation here implies that you use API keys to embed private notebooks: https://observablehq.com/documentation/embeds/api-keys But when I do this, the only API keys that I can create have project scope. The "notebook key" method on the above documentation works, but the "API key" method for embedding a private notebook does not. Happy to share an example, this is easily reproducible.

    Hi. I'm having a little trouble wrapping my brain around bin and group. I have 3 years of data broken down into 15 minute increments. It's a lot of data points. I want to group the data by day and add up the total of a column for each day. I cannot figure it out. Does anyone have any tips? I have a notebook if anyone is willing to look through it with me.

    Hi everyone! Are there any examples clipping marks to geojson objects? > If the clip option is frame (or equivalently true), the mark is clipped to the frame’s dimensions. If the clip option is null (or equivalently false), the mark is not clipped. If the clip option is sphere, the mark will be clipped to the projected sphere (e.g., the front hemisphere when using the orthographic projection); a geographic projection is required in this case. Lastly if the clip option is a GeoJSON object ^0.6.17, the mark will be clipped to the projected geometry. I am trying to clip a hexbin & hexgrid to a country shape, how do I do this?

    I know finance data is kind of boring, but is there a way to visualize finance data better than this? For example, the limit order book is a rich timeseries, fluctuating in time. Trades also occur in a point-process (with little bursts occasionally). I've seen all the posts, and the platform looks good. Just wondering if someone came up with something better, cleaner, more informative, etc.

    Is there any chance observable would increase the maximum characters in a notebook cell? I've been experimenting with vibe coding UIs for observable, but since AI tends to write lots of comments and uses long variable names, I'm running into issues. I could always create in VS code and then convert it at the end, but I'd prefer to work in observable.
