Observable continues to try and figure out exactly what their product is.
There's a neat demo video of using their new Mac desktop notebook editor. I'm surprised they're moving to a desktop app, and I'd love to know what drove it exactly!
The AI usage seems neat, and definitely like a hook to get people paying once they get used to it.
The also released a notebook kit for building static websites from a new notebook format. I assume this means that framework is de facto dead?
