[x3d-public] observablehq notebooks

Anybody who uses D3 may be interested in Observable notebooks at
observablehq.com. These are live, reactive documents for data
visualization, sort of like bl.ocks.org but dynamic. I noticed bl.ocks
now links to that, and the D3 author is behind this effort.

In addition it is easy to pull in libraries, use modern js and publish
good looking pages with interactivity.

Since D3 works great with x3dom, I thought I give it a swirl:

This is just a raw starting point but useful since it was not obvious
how to pull in x3dom at first.

Feel free to fork and play if inclined.

x3dom has its own reactivity, eg. reacts to dom changes, so there is
some overlap which can surely be resolved. It is just nice to have a
way to package and publish a complete notebook, like Jupyter but for
any JS. There is also convenient standard library included.
