Animated chart presentations in Jupyter notebooks

After releasing our open-source tool to build animated charts in Jupyter and other computational notebooks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30895975), we got two requests from data scientists: 1. They lacked the opportunity to use these charts to present their findings and control the animation better than just (re)running notebook cells. 2. They had challenges using our generic chart-building engine - they are more acquainted with picking a chart type and using the parameters specific to that type. So we decided to build a new extension that enables our users to add the…

In plain words

This tool creates animated chart presentations within Jupyter notebooks, allowing data scientists to build and present interactive visualizations directly from their computational environment. Users can organize charts into slides and control animations using on-screen buttons, keyboard shortcuts, or a presentation clicker. The extension provides chart-type-specific parameters designed for users familiar with traditional charting tools, making it easier to build visualizations without learning a generic chart engine.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

    Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
