Observable 2.0: Open-Source Static Site Generator for Fast Data Apps

Observable 2.0 has been launched as an open-source static site generator to build fast, visually appealing data apps, dashboards, and reports. It aims to help teams effectively communicate data and provides a Framework that enables building powerful data apps with JavaScript on the front-end and any language on the back-end. The Framework is free and open-source, supports local development, and solves the "last mile" problem of data apps by precomputing data for instant loading. The new version emphasizes a better developer workflow, user experience, and data architecture, and aims to provide an end-to-end solution for data analysis and presentation.
