Exploring Quarto Dashboard for impactful and visual communication

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Quarto converts Jupyter notebooks or .qmd sources into a dashboard layout of cards, value boxes and tab sets, using a CLI with quarto run --execute and live preview servers, Bootstrap‑based themes (20+ built‑in) and SCSS overrides. It runs code with multi‑engines (Jupyter, R, Julia), embeds Plotly and ipyleaflet interactivity or Shiny backends, and the Olympic Games dashboard is reproduced from notebook code, layouts and metrics, rendering successfully as an interactive HTML dashboard.
