Observable was founded in 2018 by Mike Bostock, the original creator of D3.js, one of the most widely used and influential open-source JavaScript libraries for creating custom, highly flexible data visualizations on the web, along with Melody Meckfessel and Jeremy Ashkenas, building a collaborative notebook platform that lets data analysts, journalists, and other data professionals build interactive, JavaScript-powered data visualizations and share them easily with others, addressing a gap between simpler, template-based business intelligence dashboard tools that offer limited visual customization, and D3.js itself, an extremely powerful but comparatively difficult-to-use library requiring substantial JavaScript programming expertise to build custom visualizations from scratch. Observable's notebook interface lets users write and immediately see the visual output of code, particularly JavaScript-based data visualization code, in a format similar to other computational notebook tools popular among data scientists, but specifically optimized around building rich, interactive, custom data visualizations rather than only the statistical analysis and machine learning workflows that other popular notebook tools like Jupyter are more commonly used for. The company has built a significant open community of users sharing publicly viewable data visualization notebooks covering a very wide range of topics, functioning partly as a public gallery and learning resource where users can study, fork, and adapt existing visualization examples rather than building complex custom visualizations entirely from scratch. Observable has expanded from its original notebook product into Observable Framework, an open-source static site generator specifically designed for building standalone data visualization websites and dashboards, and has increasingly positioned its tools for enterprise data teams building internal dashboards and reports that benefit from more visual customization and flexibility than typical business intelligence tools provide out of the box. The company has raised venture funding from investors including Sequoia Capital and Acrew Capital, competing with other data visualization and notebook tools including traditional business intelligence platforms and Jupyter-based data science tooling.
