Neat, but this adds very little to my existing workflow. bl.ocks.org is just a frontend to gist.github.com, so one can create a gist (working in your preferred $EDITOR and $BROWSER), then changing the appropriate part of the URI when sharing with others.
- enjalot 11y agoYeah, the purpose of this tool is to cut out the command line, which is a sin to many advanced developers but a blessing for many beginners. A big part of my motivation is to be able to teach people d3 without having to teach them about the entirety of the internet, client-server model, web servers. Just let them start playing with d3, see the fun stuff for themselves and then be motivated to learn all the other things once they're hooked. I do hope it is a useful tool for many advanced developers who want to quickly put an idea out there with minimal friction. I know my personal blocks output has sky rocketed since I've launched it, and I'm no stranger to the command line.
