Announce .interactive in a blog post

Open ahuang11 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I think interactive is really cool, but starting out the release notes with "This is a minor release" really downplays it and people might not be interested in checking it out! Technically it's correct in terms of semantic versioning, but not a great marketing strategy in my opinion~

.interactive is a big deal, but it was already in previous releases. The improvements in this release are important, but not major changes (in code terms anyway). We do need a blog post about interactive now, in any case...

I'm also waiting for communication of .interactive. My feeling is that the reason .interactive has not really being communicated much is 1. lack of resources to do so 2. the implementation needed to mature - especially with regards to Pandas DataFrame support.

Feel free to showcase .interactive a bit on social media and in the discourse forum @ahuang11 👍

  1. the implementation needed to mature - especially with regards to Pandas DataFrame support.

That was definitely the main reason, I think it's getting there particularly as we developed the whole HoloViz tutorial around it. So now would be a good time to write a blog post about it and record some short bite-sized videos.

The issues in #646 with dataarray.hvplot.x do seem like they need addressing before such a push.
