Observable

Meet Observable

Observable notebooks combine executable code, data, charts, and explanation in an interactive document. Analysts can use SQL alongside JavaScript or TypeScript, add text around a calculation, and give readers controls for exploring the result. Changing an input updates the connected calculation and visualization within the notebook.

The format supports a quick analysis sketch, a custom chart, or a small application built around a dataset. Examples also include simulations and generative art. Collaboration and publishing tools let a team develop the work together or share an interactive explanation, keeping the code, data transformations, and displayed results connected in the same document.
