Step 1: Plotly

1. Used the D3 library to read in the provided samples.json.

2. Occupied the dropdown menu to allow for selection individual samples to see the data. Sample 940 is the default.

3. Created a horizontal bar chart to display the top 10 OTUs found in each individual sample.

   

4. Created a bubble chart that displays each sample's values by OTU ID.

   

5. Displayed the sample metadata as key-value pairs.

   

Step 2: Challenge

Added a gauge to show the weekly washing frequency of the selected sample.
