Positron: The First Five Minutes
summary
A five minute demo shows Positron opening a Git repo, running a Python script that reads a Georgia Aquarium species CSV, summarizes conservation status and renders a plot with plotnine, then inspects the data in a spreadsheet view and adds an ephemeral filter that changes “least concern” from ~62% to ~71% after excluding not evaluated. The interface shows inline help, plot history, console, Git commit and publish to Posit Connect, and an integrated assistant.
