In what way are these free open-source tools “locked-in” to Observable? Observable Plot is a vanilla JavaScript library that is released under the ISC license and can be used with any style of web development (e.g., React, Svelte, whatever). And likewise Observable Framework is released under the ISC license and you’re able to self-host projects anywhere and develop locally?


Mike, thank you for D3. It’s had a huge impact on me personally.


D3 for me is feature complete. Has been that way for me for years (maybe since v3).

Never had a problem, never felt the need to upgrade. Still have a bunch of stuff that just works.

Thank you for your effort.


Can you add the library as a html link.

Anything else would be unwise to invest time in learning.


Yes? Examples here: https://observablehq.com/plot/getting-started
