Today we launched Dark Mode (is it “dark mode” or “Dark Mode”? I prefer “Dark Mode”) for all embedded Datawrapper visualizations, and I was mostly busy with getting the blog post out: https://blog.datawrapper.de/dark-mode-for-embedded-visualizations/, and the Academy article, and then monitoring Twitter for the responses (they were good!

If I did anything for the book today, you ask? Nope. Not at all. Next week!
