You might be misinterpreting me here. I’m not dismissing the utility. Quite the contrary, I’m saying that it wouldn’t be terribly groundbreaking or challenging to implement compared to some other green field problem. Although at this point I do agree that trivial was the wrong word. Observable looks cool, but it doesn’t seem portable. It really bums me out that so much of the JS ecosystem is so sheerly commercial in this way. Sometimes I don’t understand why this is like this compared to the Python ecosystem. It’s not that I’m cheap either. I’ll happily pay for things that are properly monetized and provide a good value for my time. This doesn’t seem like it.
