What is Bl.ocks?

Bl.ocks is a web-based tool that enables users to easily view and share code examples hosted on GitHub Gist, a popular platform for sharing code snippets. With Bl.ocks, users can simply replace the "gist.github.com" portion of a Gist URL with "bl.ocks.org" to access a clean, distraction-free viewer for the code. This allows developers to quickly showcase their work, share code solutions, or provide interactive examples without the need for complex setup or hosting arrangements. Bl.ocks leverages the existing Gist infrastructure, making it a seamless and efficient way to present code-based content to a wider audience
