I love Observable. And, this is a phenomenal approach, untethering Observable from observablehq.com. I'm so excited.

It probably goes without saying that EVERYONE should have a blog, and this approach from Observable means journalists everywhere can now easily create a dynamic and information-driven blog. It isn't a coincidence that Observable came from a guy that did amazing data visualizations at the NYTimes. We are on the precipice of a major power shift back to journalists and away from dubious corporations, and tools like this enable that transition.

(Shameless plug: Svekyll is going towards the same goal. Svekyll is a static site generator inspired by Jekyll. If you want to use Svelte in your blog, check it out. Svekyll bundles the incredible Apache ECharts so you can use echarts in your blog with a few lines of code (and no complicated build process). https://extrastatic.dev/svekyll/svekyll-cli. These are ideas I've been thinking about too.)
