Not at all, this is what testing out new products is all about! I think you may have something here, but it's hard to figure out exactly what.
Don't get me wrong, I think marketing and splash copy is important (a lot of comments are about your website), but I would personally focus first and foremost on the value proposition of your product.

Gotcha, I was also trying to label a graph's axes based on textlabels (two different cells), but I couldn't figure out how. Some docs, at least specifying what kind of object a graph or a table is expecting would be very helpful. Also, it's kind of odd that md`hello ${text1}` works, whereas I was expecting it to be md`hello ${text1.value}`. The reactivity is awesome though!
- d--b 6y agoThe whole thing is based on Observable (www.observablehq.com) You’ll find plenty of onboarding stuff there if you’re interested. Observable is great, but it’s got some annoying traits (saas only, lock in, no 2d layouts, no tabs) which make it not well suited to solving business problems.
- kowlo 6y agoI can second your annoyance with observable. I don't use it for this reason.
