It depends where you're coming from, I suppose. The web is pretty popular. Web developers are more familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and with various visualization libraries in the JavaScript ecosystem. I quite like Observable Plot [1].

I'm not familiar enough with Python or Jupyter to know how you would build similar visualizations with them. What would you use?

You'd have to do some styling, but Plotly is what I'd use to recreate the graphs on the gallery page there. It would obviously require some work to match the exact styling, but it should all be doable and TTFP would probably be much lower assuming you're starting with a Plotly express template.
