Falling down the #Quarto rabbit hole, and enjoying it so far. Experimenting with it as a blog and electronic lab notebook, and am keen on the idea of having raw data + analysis + presentation cleanly in the same version-controlled repository to enable understanding and reproducibility (in my work raw data can be on the order of 10s of megabytes).

Wanting to add some more interactivity to published work in a static site, to work client-side (as a sort of interactive "paper").

#openscience

So, this is all to say I am going to stick to what I know (python), and try to learn the minimum amount of JavaScript possible to add a bit of interactivity to future blog posts, hoping to cover something related to * something * science-y.

Prof Abbott even has a development tool, seemingly aimed at my use case: https://www.stevenabbott.co.uk/app-writer.php

I don't know how to then get the JavaScript back into Quarto's HTML output but I reckon that won't be the hard part 😅
