We love Observable, but Decipad is made for a different audience and use cases.

We are focusing on numbers and collaboration, while Observable kind of focuses on the programmers and the DataViz community. The Decipad user shouldn't have to know how to program. Observable uses JS. Decipad created a custom language with a number of specific features, like the way we handle units, dates and dimensions. (We can also use JS if you want to).

We have and plan to creating custom widgets for specific use cases for financial and quantitive modelling and analysis.
