wow, a link to my blog (that second link) made hackernews? that's exciting! Anyway, yeah, workbooks in appinsights is almost like notebooks for non-programmers? kinda? you string together markdown, parameters, and analytics queries (and very soon metrics across more of azure) into reports. But the parameters stuff lets you do more interactive things to hide/show sections now. i really need to do a new blog post about all the new stuff that's in there that wasn't last june! i've prototyped some stuff to export an AI workbook to an azure/jupyter notebook, as there's some support for querying analytics already from a python package. there just hasn't been enough demand for it so far (not as much as we expected, anyway?)
