[Sim plots] Write blog post & create video about new sim analytics with dash

[trentmc]

Background / motivation

Previously: simulator analytics plots were with matplotlib.

• Benefits: (a) we get plots! Way more insight. (b) Plots were created in python, so we could rapidly improve them. We & our users are all data scientists operating in py
• But there were issues: (a) takes up whole screen and keeps popping up (b) once they're done they're done, can't retrieve later (c) matplotlib interactivity options are severely limited (d) local only

New: simulator analytics plots that show up in browser, via Dash

• Benefits: like before. Plus: overcomes all the issues of before!

Goal: write a blog post & video about this.

• Q: We could do it (i) just for simulator, or (ii) sim and predictoor bot analytics. Which to do?
• A: [Trent] For this issue to do just (i). Then do predictoor bot analytics in a follow-up post / video.
• Q: The product actually evolved from matplotlib -> streamlit -> Dash. We just never announced streamlit before. How to handle?
• A: focus on the jump from matplotlib -> dash. Simply mention that we tried streamlit along the way, but its options for interactivity were limited compared to Dash.
