30:T490,md`Lionel Radisson, alias [makio135](https://twitter.com/makio135). I'm an artist/designer/maker/teacher and for 10 years, I've been playing with creative code doing generative graphics, digital fabrication, web experiments, interactive installations, … [

[glitch](https://glitch.com/@makio135), [p5js editor](https://editor.p5js.org/makio135/sketches), [github pages](https://leclub.github.io/), [canvas-sketch](https://github.com/mattdesl/canvas-sketch), [jsbin](https://jsbin.com/), [codepan](https://codepan.net/), [codesandbox](https://codesandbox.io/), [replit](https://repl.it/),… when I heard about Observable, I thought why not try a new one 🤷🏼‍♂️ Nearly a year has passed since I started, and I'd like to share this journey:`31:T7d5,await visibility(), md`${previews([ { path: '@makio135/svg-template', thumbnail:

Conclusion [Philippe Rivière](https://visioncarto.net/) has published [a notebook about the pros and cons of Observable](https://observablehq.com/@fil/the-observable-zealot), much better written than I could, and why it is such an interesting tool. All in all, Observable has been, and is, a platform like no other for me, whether for studying, practicing, learning, a medium with code literacy in mind showing side by side code and its result, designed for parametric practice (whether the inputs are data or code). The team and community are incredibly skilled, yet remain approachable, supportive, generously share a lot of knowledge, and care about the users 🙏 I've been able to improve a lot in a year thanks to Observable, and really believe in its potential. I also want to thank all the persons who helped me, shared their knowledge, either by writing articles, creating tools, taking time to answer questions, or in any other way, it's really meaningful 🖤 Thank you for reading me. Take care ✌️
