Hanna is on track to read 30 books this year. Paul has completed over 20 marathons and 10 ultramarathons. Michelle has explored 34 countries, logging over 13,600 hours of travel—all with just a carry-on. Erinn has 2 rabbits who eat over 1,400 cups of greens each year. Just another day to express my love of Observable Framework Observable Notebook Kit is such a joy to use. We are in love with @observablehq for all our #dataviz pieces 👩🏻‍💻 Getting more into @observablehq. I thought it was a kind of cool but now I realize it’s actually just AMAZING HOLY COW Observable opened up this whole new world of what we could offer people on such a short time scale... It expands the type of content we can create, and that we can offer our users. Observable lets us create polished, interactive, insightful visualizations without deep front-end expertise, making it essential for sharing our performance testing insights. 🤯 This is outstanding work by the Observable team! Connect data, code, charts, and powerful table components on the fly, visually, and effortlessly. All the piping complexity handled behind the scene. And then throw all that on an infinite multiplayer canvas with free form annotation. I feel like I’m staring at the future of BI! The UX of AI isn’t an interface, it’s visualizations and simulations. That’s why I’ve been keeping my eye on Observable. And now, their new Data Canvas changes the game, again. It’s all coming together. I use Observable for data dashboards at Tether and it rocks - and now they are out with a new data collaboration product called canvases, and it really rocks This is really, really incredible stuff. I can't wait to replace a bunch of terrible BI dashboards. I've seen and used so many amazing in-house dashboarding and reporting tools, and this suite blows them all out of the water.
