Visualization Dashboards with Pluto!

Data visualization with intuitive interactions is an essential feature of many scientific investigations. I propose to go over use cases and examples on why/how to develop reactive dashboards in Julia using "Pluto.jl". Pluto provides a way to isolate cells in a separate page of which the style is editable as regular HTML/CSS. Alongside PlutoUI's experimental layout feature, this is a powerful tool to create immersive interactive experiences for users.

In Python, one could assemble a Jupyter notebook to experiment with visualizations and turn it into a Dash dashboard with multiple plots, panes, and widgets. In R, someone could do the same with RShiny. Julia has support for Dash and Jupyter, but one could argue that dashboarding and experimentation should be part of the same workflow. Pluto's solution to this problem is complete and extensible, which is every scientist's dream.
