Seeking guidance and reviewers for AnnData HTML representation PR (#2236)

Hi all,

I just opened a PR to AnnData that adds a full HTML representation for AnnData objects ( Add HTML representation by katosh · Pull Request #2236 · scverse/anndata · GitHub ). It’s a fairly extensive implementation, with collapsible sections, a search feature, and readme rendering. This feature has come up repeatedly in past issues and in my own environment, and I hope it fills a long-standing gap in everyday notebook use.

For anyone curious about how it behaves across a range of AnnData configurations, here is a live demo with several examples rendered via _repr_html_:

Since the PR is fairly substantial in scope, I wanted to ask for guidance on how best to move the review forward:

  • Who would be the right people to review a feature of this kind?
  • Is there anything I can do to make the review easier?
  • Are there design expectations I should align with before the PR is finalized?

I’m very happy to iterate quickly, incorporate feedback, or help test integration with related packages. Any guidance on next steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for maintaining the ecosystem and for any time you can spare to look at this!

I posted a quick answer here: Add HTML representation by katosh · Pull Request #2236 · scverse/anndata · GitHub which should hopefully answer the “who can review”.

Thank you!

Awesome, thank you!!
