👋 Hi everyone! We just launched early access for our newest feature: Observable Canvases. 🎉 Canvases are a new way for teams to visually explore data, run analyses, and build interactive charts and dashboards — all in one visual, collaborative whiteboard in the browser. It’s built for cross-functional workflows where analysts, PMs, and developers work in the same space — using code when it helps, and visual tools when it’s faster. Early access is currently open to data teams, so if that’s you, we’d love to have you try it out. 👉 https://observablehq.com/blog/introducing-canvases-early-access

Looks really cool and definitely neatly supports and improves the common data exploration scenarios naturally. Looking forward trying it out!

Woah, cool. I caught this announcement on LinkedIn and came here to say congrats to the team! I also really appreciate how this further distinguishes the notebook environment for data exploration and prototyping.

I was just chatting with Fabian about this, and mentioning it sort of reminded me of a classic paper I read during my IxD masters about design of the London Underground line control rooms and how it could aid or hamper collaboration
