Frontend

• Looked into holoviz panel.
  • Dinara showed a working prototype that covered the basic functionality
  • Advantages of Holoviz:
    • Python
    • Useful components (e.g. tableview) that can be quickly assembled into websites
    • Easy to make interactive/link elements
  • Discussion about possibility to deploy:
    • Run Python in Browser via WebAssembly
      • DISCARDED: pulls in full Python runtime at first start, big data download
  • Export as static website
    • NEEDS INFO: feasible for project with many states/choices? Documentation unclear

Data

  • DONE: see https://github.com/OCNS/simselect/blob/main/simtools/simtools.yaml
