Being able to connect preprints to the OA content in their references, is (just) one the really exciting things about using the new reader reader.openrxivlabs.org @curvenote.com @openrxiv.bsky.social

mini-clis for prototyping 🤘. This is a little sandbox cli for pushing standard.site records into my PDS, in my case with `oxa` as content, worked out great, busy fitting some of this back into our main cli just now, but neat on its own :D

Made some #bluesky profile cards for @mystmd.org via the widget interface (widget doesn't feel like right interface, but a handy starting point). Just needed a fetch call to api.bsky.app 🤩 wrote more about it here. more #bsky / #atproto experiments coming. opensci.dev/articles/blu...

I'm also working on an open-seadragon extension, which opens up a the possibility of streaming a whole host of possible tile based formats openseadragon.github.io Any open-seadragon users out there? or who use any of those formats? (see supported tile sources on the open-seadragon site)

Another reel from a computational article on elementalmicroscopy.com this time with a 3D dataset - looking for surface defects. The journal is running on @curvenote.com's SCMS: curvenote.com/case-studies.... (btw sped up the boring spinner in this one to save us a few secs)

It's amazing to see authors publishing on Elemental Microscopy fully engaging with the Computational Article format! publishing articles with interactive content (jupyter/python backed in this case) that allow readers to not just only explore results but also methods!

It was great to be getting some improvements to our checks UI into production yesterday! automated checks are run whenever something is submitted from the CLI or GitHub automations, and apply rules to the document structure - now with an improved surface for configuration @curvenote.com

Screen that allows configuration of automated checks on different article kinds within the Curvenote publishing system.

Exploring in-text visualization of nucleotides 🧬 in markdown—using color-coded sequences to highlight patterns for data storytelling. Looking for ideas and pointers! Next, extending to highlight mutations, functional regions and trying protein sequences. #biology #ComputationalBiology #genomics

Very interesting ideas behind GeoAI and the combination of LLM / GenAI and graph reasoning - especially aspects of using LLMs to generate graphs from specific datasets. #AGU24
