Hello!

I haven't been able to preview my post when running the site locally.

Everything seems to work fine (able to see the posts at http://localhost:1313/tags/matplotlib/).

Did I miss a step?

Thanks

EDIT: solution found (:

PS: still a draft at the moment I'm writing this

Thanks @JosephBARBIERDARNAL, this is a great start! Do you perhaps want to write a bit more, eg explaining how the project came about, where you got the colors from, who the target audiences are, give code examples of how to use it, etc?

EDIT: I see it's a draft; I'll update the PR status.

See licensing comments made on bcb4eea

[JosephBARBIERDARNAL]

This PR can be merged! I'm perfectly open to feedback if any changes are necessary.

I've also made the changes related to the licensing issue.

[JosephBARBIERDARNAL]

Hey @stefanv ! I'm taking the liberty of sending you a ping to tell you that this PR can be merged (:

[stefanv]

I am still not very comfortable with scraping another package's data, and presenting it as a new package. There is no mention of R paletteer outside of the license file.

Perhaps safest would be to ask whether @EmilHvitfeldt is OK with this type of usage, and hear what concerns they might have.

[JosephBARBIERDARNAL]

I'm not sure I understand. Scraping is only used for technical simplicity and paletteer is obviously also mentioned in the documentation acknowledgements (see https://github.com/JosephBARBIERDARNAL/pypalettes?tab=readme-ov-file#acknowledgements).

[stefanv]

I see the mention now, thanks for pointing it out. Still, I think best to get the thumbs-up from those who did the original work to aggregate all this data.

[JosephBARBIERDARNAL]

Yes, I can understand that. I'll add an explicit mention at the top of the README.

[EmilHvitfeldt]

I approve! if you need approval elsewhere please ping me

[stefanv]

Thanks, Emil!

[JosephBARBIERDARNAL]

Thanks to both of you!
