    This project looks fantastic. I adore Observable notebooks, but the one thing that makes me hesitate in using them for everything is that the editor component itself is closed-source and only available on https://observablehq.com/ They're great open source ecosystem supporters - they released their runtime, their parser, their standard library and all sorts of other stuff through https://github.com/observablehq - but the editor itself is their proprietary sauce. I totally support their decision on this - it's what they're building their business around, and I want them to be successful. But as a user it does give me pause. This project from Alex Garcia looks like a fix for exactly that. Having more-than-one editor for their notebook format (and an open source option a that) resolves my hesitancy in leaning hard into their ecosystem. I don't even see it as a competitor to ObservableHQ - the hosted Observable editor has collaboration features that don't even make sense for a local running version. Plus, Dataflow has some great ideas of its own - in particular the live file attachments thing.
