Feels so natural to see past interaction states and be able to branch off of them for analyses.
Great job @kbgadhave @Cutlerzach and @alexander_lex!

Excited to release this new project on scalable interactive visualization - spanning the web, notebooks, and servers - in collaboration with @domoritz of @cmudig. Big thanks to @duckdb, @ApacheArrow, @observablehq Plot, and others for the tools that made it possible!
New project! Mosaic is a framework for scalable and interoperable visualization that unifies visualization toolkits with scalable visualization methods and query optimizations.

My @PyDataSeattle 2023 talk on scaling @vega_vis Altair with @vegafusion_io is now on YouTube! piped.video/8vI0o8CuhLI
Solara is a new react-style framework for Python, now with support for interacting with Altair selections! Great to see more dashboard solutions support the @vega_vis ecosystem!
We just released Solara 1.15.0, what is new:
1️⃣ Altair demo (event handling in Python🐍)
2️⃣ Tab support 🗂️
3️⃣ Multipage in a single script 👀

🤯 everytime I think I've seen all of the uses of #vegalite params, I stumble across new ways of making interactive visualizations with them. Here, we create a 'click to order' stacked histogram– allowing you to compare categories on a common baseline #visualization

VegaFusion making Python plotting fun again! 🙌
🎉 VegaFusion 1.2 is out! This release introduces support for saving Altair charts to HTML, JSON, and static image files.

@vegafusion_io added support for #DuckDB, so you can plot charts directly in Altair without using pandas as an intermediary, here analysing 182 Million records of NY Taxi dataset, aggregated to 36000 data point.
