We're taking a local-first approach: our plan is to bring these new notebooks, editor, and AI to the web in the near future, providing seamless collaboration and sharing through the Observable platform. |

We've taken a local-first approach: we started with our open-source layer and desktop editor, and then expanded to bring these new notebooks, editor, and AI to the web, providing seamless collaboration and sharing through the Observable platform. |

71 | 72 | To achieve these goals, we've developed an open **notebook file format** and are releasing **Observable Notebook Kit**, an open-source command-line interface (and Vite plugin) for generating static sites from notebooks. You can use Notebook Kit for self-hosting and continuous deployment of notebooks, to deeply integrate notebooks into custom web applications, and more. |

We are therefore also developing **Observable Desktop**, a desktop application for editing notebooks that brings the magic ✨ of Observable Notebooks to file-based workflows. |

The instant feedback you get with reactive coding, the lightweight composability and flexibility of cells, the ability to inspect and tinker to understand what the code is doing, the infinite variety of importable open-source libraries at your fingertips --- notebooks enable AI to perform as a more effective teacher and muse, inviting you to collaborate with it, rather than treating it as a black box code generator. |

91 | | - You won't need Observable Desktop to author notebooks --- you can author notebooks in your preferred text editor, and then preview or build them using Notebook Kit. But our goal is to build the best-in-class editor for notebooks that supercharges your productivity with AI, combined with instant collaboration and sharing in Observable workspaces, together with [Observable Canvases](https://observablehq.com/canvases/) for rapid, cross-functional, visual exploration and presentation of data. We'd love for you to use our open-source, but we're ready for your business, too. |
