And good place to drop few links, if you'd like to cut to the chase. The finished notebook from the screencast (which you can fork): https://beta.observablehq.com/@jashkenas/earthquakes https://beta.observablehq.com/@jashkenas/earthquakes And a fancier version that spins, reuses the canvas element instead of re-rendering it from scratch, projects the quakes as circles on the surface of the sphere, and offers a bunch of other options to configure (like if you'd like to chart the past day, week or month of quakes): https://beta.observablehq.com/@jashkenas/quakespotter-0-1 https://beta.observablehq.com/@jashkenas/quakespotter-0-1

  Do you guys have a keyboard shortcuts cheatsheet? I can't figure how to move from one cell to another without clicking or creating a new cell.

    Sure thing! When you're on a notebook, click on your user avatar, then help. Walkthrough: https://file-oxhnhlfzte.now.sh/ https://file-oxhnhlfzte.now.sh/

    If you hit the '?' key (when you don’t have a code editor focused), a help modal appears that shows all the keyboard shortcuts. Most of the keyboard shortcuts are also described in the introduction here: https://beta.observablehq.com/@mbostock/introduction-to-notebooks https://beta.observablehq.com/@mbostock/introduction-to-note... You can change which cell is focused using Option-Tab ⌥⇥ and Shift-Option-Tab ⇧⌥⇥. You can also click on the asterisk (*) in the left margin to edit any cell.

  I didn't know you were involved in this project too. That screencast is astonishing. Congratulations on the launch!

  small bug: the earthquake notebook points to `http://www.example.com` http://www.example.com` instead of the youtube screencast.

    Right, we didn't have the URL yet last night. Thanks! Fixed.
